Raghu Rai, a celebrated Indian photographer known for his impactful visual storytelling, passed away on April 26 at the age of 83 after a two-year battle with cancer. His profound quote, “Skills are never taught, they are acquired. I can give you a camera, but can’t feed your vision,” underscores the essential difference between technical skills and true artistic vision. Rai's work, which includes iconic images from the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War and the Bhopal gas tragedy, reflects his belief that genuine photography arises from personal experiences and unique perspectives. In today's digital world, where anyone can take technically sound photos, Rai's insights serve as a reminder for aspiring creators to prioritize depth and authenticity over mere technicality. His legacy encourages artists to look inward and develop their own creative voices, rather than simply imitating trends or relying on equipment.
