"In the eyes of his peers Raghu Rai's work is distinctive in the exploration of India; the depth, the subtlety, the very everyday ordinariness of his images inspires their accolades. "...the vigour in your photographs is breathtaking", wrote Cartier-Bresson in a letter in 1991. Rai explains his vision, his journey into human documentation, as a "fire inside that makes you thirst, makes you dig deeper into the layers and the layers of complexities of the world around you". The photographer is thus a "witness, a clean mirror with the sensitivity and the discipline of the medium to reflect what is: the physical reality and the inner aura." The purpose: "To bring man closer - face to face with human reality. An experience that is so powerful, a moment so potent, that it is tangible"."
