The nation mourns the loss of Indian photographer and photojournalist Raghu Rai, who left behind a legacy of iconic images and prestigious awards.
Chairman of Fashion Design Council of India, Sunil Sethi, remembers Rai as the 'father of Indian photography' who made waves nationally and internationally.
Rai's haunting picture from the Bhopal Gas Tragedy in 1984 remains an iconic piece, and his level of talent has been appreciated by everyone.
Sethi recalls his experience working with Rai on jury panels, praising his ability to spot the right thing for everything, just like he had an eye for spotting the right picture.
Rai was a man of few words, but his photographs spoke for him, and his global impact is evident in the fact that everyone knows his name, even if they don't remember his work.
Sethi shares his last interaction with Rai, which took place in late 2022 during an exhibition, and praises his openness to collaboration and guidance for other photographers.
