Famed American photographer Steve McCurry discusses his first impressions of Asia, shooting images on his phone and his travel wish list. Some of his most celebrated images from the region are on display in the Picturing Asia: Double Take exhibition at the Asia Society in Hong Kong until January 7, 2017.

You initially studied filmmaking in university, but ultimately became a photographer. Did anyone nurture or shape your photographic talent at the start of your career?

I think my professors were influential in my career. They sort of set me on the course.

Where did you get your first camera? What did you shoot?

It was a birthday gift – a Kodak Brownie. I was shooting stuff like my travels, friends and family.

You quit your job at the age of 27 and became a freelance photographer. What was it like to be a photographer in the 1970s?

It was great. I was striking out on my own, doing my own thing and not having to do assignments – I was just free. But it was very competitive.

You created many celebrated works and had a lot of inspiration in Asia. When you first came to this part of the world, what do you recall about your first impressions?

It was in India – I remember there were a lot of people on the street, and there was kind of pungent odour of curry or something. It was very crowded and a bit of shock. It was a new experience, a new world and a new adventure.
