Seamus Murphy / A Darkness Visible / Afghanistan




Seamus Murphy
AFGHANISTAN
A DARKNESS VISIBLE

Seamus Murphy began photographing Afghanistan in 1994, and his new book A Darkness Visible: Afghanistan, is a classic on the rise of the Taliban and the impact of U.S. invasion. For two decades, he has worked extensively in the Middle East, Asia, Africa, Latin America and most recently America on an ongoing project during what he calls “a nervous and auspicious time.” His accolades include six World Press Photo Awards. Murphy blends humour and irony with deep insight. “Photography,” he says,“is part history, part magic.”
