Raghubir Singh
Raghubir Singh, one of twentieth century's finest documentary photographers, was
born in Rajasthan in 1942 in a thakur family.
After his education in Jaipur and at the Hindu College of Delhi, he went to Calcutta
to make a career in the tea industry. By this time, he had started to do amateur
photography.
In the 1970s, Raghubir moved to Paris and during three decades of rigorous training
and exposure, he carved his own niche in international photography with a series
of portfolios of colour photography on India.
Raghubir's first two books of colour photographs, Calcutta and Ganges, came out
in the early 1970s. These were among the first of the so-called 'coffee-table' books
in India, and indeed were almost the only books of Indian photographs that were
then available.
He won an international reputation, publishing over a dozen books, all on various
aspects of his homeland. A Way Into India was his last great photographic project.
