With the death of Raghu Rai, the country has lost one of its most influential visual storytellers. His portraits reflected the aesthetics he had perfected over the decades.
Raghu Rai, the legendary photojournalist whose evocative black-and-white imagery became the definitive visual record of modern India, passed away early Sunday at a private hospital in Delhi. He was 83. His family confirmed that Rai had been battling cancer for the last two years, though he remained active in the field until his final months.
