Seamus Murphy /

Seamus Murphy began photographing Afghanistan in 1994, and his book, A Darkness Visible: Afghanistan, is a classic on the rise of the Taliban and the impact of U.S. invasion. More recently, he traveled across America during what he calls “a nervous and auspicious time.” Over two decades, he has worked extensively in Ireland, Peru, Sierra Leone, Lebanon; his accolades include six World Press Photo Awards. Murphy blends humor and irony with deep insight. “Photography,” he says, “is part history, part magic.”
