Raghubir Singh

(1942–1999)

Raghubir Singh was an Indian photographer, most known for his landscapes and documentary-style photographs of the people from India.

I like the style of his photography.Most of his photos' main colors are strong.Like red,blue.

Also,he is good at using lights.The shadows are very nice that he captured. Also the angle of his photos are quite special. 

Most of his photography records the normal life in India.

I was inspired by his photography that i found that if you decide to take photos of a country you should pick the characteristics of that country.To Raghubir Singh he use representative colors of India,which makes people found that that it's India when they first see his work.

For Raghubir Singh, India could only be photographed in color.

 Raghubir Singh said that “If photography had been an Indian invention, I believe that seeing in colour would never have posed the theoretical or artistic problems perceived by Western photographers,”
