Steve McCurry spent more than twenty years as a contract photographer for National Geographic, producing some of the magazine's most widely circulated images. His 1984 photograph of a young Afghan refugee - identified decades later as Sharbat Gula - appeared on the June 1985 cover of National Geographic and became one of the most reproduced magazine covers in history. He was among the last photographers to shoot on Kodachrome before Kodak discontinued the film in 2010.

Product description
Kodachrome 64 is a color reversal (slide) film discontinued by Kodak in 2010 after more than seven decades of production. Its dye-based structure produced colors with exceptional stability and saturation, and it was the predominant film in professional color photography for much of the postwar period.
