‘What I learnt from perhaps my most well-known photo 'Afghan girl' is that people are increasingly interested in the context of images, of the life behind the face as it were. I went in search of Sharbat Gula again because so many people asked me who she was, what she did and whether she survived. After seeing the work from the 'Bibin' project in Afghanistan I realised the images and writing from PhotoVoice projects intrinsically provide this intimacy and understanding. Through PhotoVoice projects people like Sharbat Gula are given the vital opportunity to tell their stories for themselves.’
Steve McCurry, National Geographic and Magnum photographer
