I wasn’t a great fan of concert photography till i read up an article on a book by Raghu Rai, one of the greatest photographers in India. That is when i came to understand the addiction behind photographing performing artists. Raghu Rai has done extensive work as far as shooting Indian classical music maestros goes. It has been compiled in the wonderful book India’s Great Masters. You can see the artist in their element in Rai’s work. Be it Pandit Ravi Shankar or the late Bhimsen Joshi or Kishori Amonkar. You realise the true significance of his quote where Rai says that it takes hours to capture an artist the way he or she should be, in their most intense moments.
