How Raghu Rai shaped my photography career through mentorship and inspiration

Photographer D Ravinder Reddy credits Raghu Rai for shaping his career through mentorship and inspiration. Reddy's association with Rai began in the early 1990s when he was a regular contributor to India Today magazine. He studied Rai's photographs, learning the nuances of photography, and was particularly inspired by Rai's images of the Bhopal gas tragedy. Reddy observed Rai's work during the Babri Masjid demolition, learning from his techniques and angles.
