Raghu Rai

 

Raghu Rai is arguably India's most famous photographer and is known for redefining the face of photojournalism in India. He is part of the Magnum Photo agency which was started by photographers Henri Cartier Bresson and Robert Capa among others. His work is extensive and he has shot the profiles of many of India's top personalities from Indhira Gandhi to Mother Teresa. He is also famous for his work on the Bhopal Gas tragedy.

 

He was at my college for a lecture. That's his assistant in the background. A lot of us photographers start as assistants to professionals in the industry. I assist photographer Ian Pereira in Mumbai now. It's a great experience and I'm learning a lot.
