Since being photographed, the subject of one of the most famous images ever has had a tragically challenging existence.
There are some well-known photos that have been immortalised, ranging from those that depict the effects of climate change to those that were taken in conflict zones.
‘Afghan Girl’ is one of the photos captured by combat photographer Steve McCurry in 1984.
Around the time of the Soviet Union’s conquest of Afghanistan, McCurry photographed the picture at the Nasir Bagh refugee camp in Pakistan.
