    Known as “Afghan Girl,” journalist Steve McCurry’s photograph of 12-year-old Afghani refugee Sharbat Gula was the result of a five-minute session in 1984. It wound up on the cover of the June, 1985 issue of National Geographic and became "the most memorable image that we have ever published," according to William Allen, the publication’s former editor-in-chief.

    "It was one of those incredible, amazing moments in photography where everything comes together," McCurry told USA Today in 2002, and the issue sold 10,422,984 copies. In 2002 the photographer found Gula living in Afghanistan, fully grown and the mother of three children, and he said that she had no idea that the photo had been so widely circulated.
