Steve McCurry (b.1950) has been one of the most iconic voices in contemporary photography for more than 30 years, with scores of magazine covers, over a dozen books and countless exhibitions around the world. A member of Magnum Photos, he has created stunning images in six continents and numerous countries.

"A remarkably original set of impressions of the coffee-farming trails in far-flung lands."—American Photo

"McCurry’s lens beautifully captures the labor and humanity that goes into making our daily espresso."—Preferred Travel Magazine

"A truly impressive and memorable body of work."—Midwest Book Review
