Steve McCurry, Photographer, New York

Description

This documentary photograph by Steve McCurry captures three individuals wading through clear, shallow turquoise coastal water over a rocky seabed. Two men assist an elderly woman wearing a patterned floral dress and a red head covering, holding onto her arms and a yellow rope. The surrounding water transitions from shallow translucent green near the shore to a deep rich blue further out. Natural daylight illuminates the scene, highlighting the wet textures of their traditional clothing and the rocky shoreline.
