This Monday (Nov 14), the world-famous photojournalist Steve McCurry, best known for his "Afghan Girl" portrait often regarded as one of National Geographic's most iconic front covers, will launch a four-month-long exhibition dubbed "A Lifetime of Work" featuring the best portraits from throughout his career.

Running between Nov 14-Mar 14, 2017, at a new gallery dubbed House of Lucie (Ekkamai Soi 8), the exhibition will include both large- and small-scale portraits that McCurry has captured around the world across numerous international and civil conflicts, including several that have never before been exhibited. He'll also make an appearance on the opening night between 7pm-9pm. 

McCurry's exhibition comes just after Sharbat Gula, the subject of "Afghan Girl," now in her forties, was threatened with deportation from Pakistan under the charge of faking her identity. He hopes that the exhibition will help raise awareness about her case and the refugee situation in Pakistan as a whole.

"A Lifetime of Work" will be the opening exhibition for House of Lucie, the latest venture from the team behind the former Rooftop Gallery. This time, they're dedicating the new space to all things photography-related, including workshops, lectures and exhibitions. The name is derived from the Lucie Awards, an annual event that celebrates the biggest achievements in photography around the world, and House of Lucie aims to showcase the work of those who have received this award, alongside that of local talent.
