Raghubir Singh was an Indian photographer known for his large-format color work documenting India's landscapes, vernacular architecture, and daily life from the 1960s onward. Working primarily in Kodachrome and later digital processes, his saturated palette and precise compositional control transformed documentary photography into a formal practice of color and light. Singh's extensive archive encompasses the Ganges River, Delhi's streets, and rural agricultural scenes, approached with the methodical rigor of a painter rather than a photojournalist. His work established color photography as a serious medium for cultural and geographical study in postwar India.
