Raghubir Singh: From One World to Another

This exhibition brought together Raghubir Singh’s vibrant and timeless photographs of India with his more understated documentary images of Bradford.

Born in Jaipur, India, Raghubir Singh (1942–1999) explored the creative possibilities of photography at a time when the medium was both unpopular and largely ignored.

Singh lived and worked in London, Paris and New York, but made his best known work in his homeland. Over thirty years he strove to capture India and the infinite richness and variety of its people, places and customs.

Widely published in books and magazines and exhibited worldwide, Singh is celebrated as a pioneer of the use of colour in photography.
