Dinsdagmiddag om 16.30 op National Geographic Channel: People Out There.
Magnum photographer Raghu Rai captures the dramatic human spectacle of Kumbha Mela, a festival that draws millions of Hindus to Allahabad, India, once every 12 years. Known for capturing some of the 20th century's most moving photographs, Rai works virtually unnoticed among the throngs of people, some clad in fineries and some in nothing at all, to capture deep impressions of a human scene of truly biblical proportions and beyond all imagination.
Raghu Rai, a Magnum photographer since 1977, was born in what is now Pakistan but moved to India after the Partition; he is internationally recognised as India's most distinguished photographer. He started working as a photographer in the 1960’s thanks largely to the support of his elder brother. Success came early when a snap shot was published in an English newspaper and ever since then, Raghu has worked as a photographer for The Hindustan Times, The Statesman and India Today. His work has also appeared in international publications such as Time, The New York Times, Paris Match, National Geographic, Geo and others.
