About

Why this artist matters now

Raghu Rai is an Indian photographer whose practice emerged during India's postwar modernization. Working primarily in black and white, he has documented urban transformation, social upheaval, and everyday life across the Indian subcontinent with formal precision and humanistic attention. His photographs engage with the visual vocabulary of mid-century photojournalism while maintaining sustained focus on Indian subjects and cultural specificity.
