This is the German-language edition of Steve McCurry's South Southeast, published as Süd Südost. Süd Südost presents Steve McCurry's photographs from South and Southeast Asia, with images from Afghanistan, India, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Tibet and Myanmar. The book focuses on people, places, landscapes and colours, presenting McCurry's characteristic colour photography in a large-format photographic volume. This large-format photobook brings together 67 colour photographs made by Steve McCurry across South and Southeast Asia. His images concentrate particularly on people and their surroundings, while also portraying landscapes, architecture, daily life and cultural traditions. Afghanistan, India, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Tibet and Myanmar are represented in the selection. The substantial format gives the photographs considerable visual impact and makes the book primarily a photographic portfolio rather than a conventional travel guide. The edition is especially relevant to collectors and readers interested in documentary photography, colour photography, travel photography and McCurry's work in Asia. Steve McCurry (born 1950) is an American photographer and photojournalist whose work is strongly associated with documentary and colour photography. He became internationally recognised through his photographs from Afghanistan and South Asia and has worked extensively for National Geographic.
