Photo Credit: huckmag.comDavid Alan Harvey, a member of Magnum Photos, is known for his insightful and straightforward photographic style. In 1975, he documented a Maya boy playing by Lake Atitlán, Guatemala. This photograph is a snapshot of Harvey’s time spent in the Mayan highlands, an experience he credits with broadening his perspective on cultural persistence and identity. His work there became the foundation for his later book “Divided Soul.”
The image is valued for its clear storytelling, capturing a single, candid moment that speaks to a broader cultural context. It is recognized as one of Magnum’s iconic travel photos, standing out for its simplicity and the clear narrative it conveys. Harvey’s photograph of the Maya boy is a testament to his ability to connect with his subjects and offer a window into their lives.
