Editorial Reviews

Review

"Seamus Murphy sees Afghanistan's turbulent people and its magnificent landscapes with an eye that is sometimes shockingly clear. I find his images as disturbing as they are haunting and lovely. This is a beautiful and valuable book."John Simpson"Seamus Murphy is a poet with a camera who has captured the essence of life in one of the oldest countries in the world, today under attack from one of the newest. He has eloquently captured the stoicism of a people bombarded throughout history and yet still survive."Philip Jones Griffiths


Product Description

Afghanistan is a collection of stunning, lyrical photographs from an acclaimed, prize-winning photojournalist.

From 1994 to 2006, Seamus Murphy photographed the effects of the Taliban regime, the tumultuous years of civil war, and the historical elections following the fall of the Taliban. Alongside scenes of war and politics, his magnificent photographs capture intimate images of domesticity, work, and leisure.

Seamus Murphy has won six World Press Photo awards and has received widespread acclaim for his work in Afghanistan and the Middle East.

5.0 out of 5 stars Afghanistan: A Darkness Visible, July 28, 2008
Seamus Murphy has gone into this other world like a hidden spirit, then put his viewers right there with him. His viewpoint is stark, but not invasive, and the most beautiful study painted with dust I've ever beheld. His portraits startle; portray fear and well as joy. How Murphy did it we'll never know. Pure genius is how. Patsy Dickey, Atlanta
