Raghu Rai: The Yogi of Photography Who Illuminates the Soul

This is, without a doubt, the hardest article I have ever written. It is more than just words on a page; it is my heartfelt tribute to a man who has been my guru, my guiding light, and my inspiration in every sense of the word. Writing this piece felt like walking through the corridors of my own journey, reflecting on the immense impact Raghu Rai has had on my craft and life.

In this article, I’ve delved into his extraordinary career, from his Magnum Photos archive to the cinematic explorations of his work through films like Raghu Rai: An Unframed Portrait and Hearing Through the Eyes. I’ve tried to capture the essence of his philosophy—his ability to illuminate the soul of his subjects and his unmatched legacy in shaping photography as a medium of truth and art.
