==Early life and education==

Singh was born into an aristocratic [[Rajput]] family in 1942 in Jaipur. His grandfather was Commander-in-chief of the [[Jaipur State|Jaipur]] Armed Forces, while his father was a [[Thakur (Indian title)|Thakur]] or feudal landowner of [[Khetri]] (now in [[Jhunjhunu district]], Rajasthan). After independence, his family saw a dwindling of its fortune.<ref name="ind">Bruce Palling, "[https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/obituary-raghubir-singh-1088784.html Obituary: Raghubir Singh]", ''The Independent'', 22 April 1999.</ref> As a schoolboy, he discovered ''Beautiful Jaipur'', [[Henri Cartier-Bresson|Cartier-Bresson]]'s little-known book published in 1948, which inspired his interest in photography.<ref name="ot"/>

After his schooling at [[St. Xavier's School, Jaipur]], he joined the [[Hindu College, University of Delhi|Hindu College]] ([[Delhi]]) but dropped out in his first year.<ref name="ind"/> It was here that he took a serious interest in photography.<ref name="rg"/><ref name=wa/>

==Career==

===Photographer===
Singh first moved to [[Calcutta]] to begin a career in the tea industry, as had his elder brother before him. This turned out to be unsuccessful, but by this time, he had started to take photographs.<ref name="rg"/> In Calcutta, Singh met the historian R. P. Gupta, who later contributed text for his first book ''Ganges'' (1974). Singh was gradually introduced to a circle of city artists who deeply influenced his later work, especially the [[Realism (arts)|realism]] of filmmaker [[Satyajit Ray]], who later designed the cover of his first book and wrote the introduction to his Rajasthan book.<ref name="prasad">{{cite book|last= Sharada Prasad|first=H. Y.|title=The book I won't be writing and other essays|chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=JQi967RIRh4C&q=Raghubir+Singh+photographer&pg=PA223|year=2003|publisher=Orient Blackswan|isbn=81-8028-002-0|chapter=43. Raghubir Singh}}</ref>{{rp|221}} This also set a precedent for literary input in his future books, as in the coming years the writer [[V. S. Naipaul|V. S. Naipaul]] conducted a dialogue with him for the preface to his book ''Bombay'' (1994), while [[R. K. Narayan|R. K. Narayan]] wrote the introduction to ''Tamil Nadu'' (1997).<ref name="ind"/><ref name=dt>[[#Do|Doyle, p. 117]]</ref>

By the mid-1960s, [[Life (magazine)|Life Magazine]] had published eight pages of his photographs about student unrest. He later moved to [[Hong Kong]] and started doing photo features for ''[[National Geographic Magazine]], [[The New York Times]]''...<ref name="rg"/><ref name="ind"/>

After a decade of travelling along the [[Ganges]], Singh published his first book ''Ganges'' in 1974, with an introduction by [[Eric Newby]].<ref name="ind" /> Though his early work was inspired by [[Henri Cartier-Bresson]]'s documentary-style photographs of India, he chose colour as his medium, responding to the vivid colours of India, and over time adapted western techniques to Indian [[aesthetics]].<ref name="krages">{{cite book|last=Krages|first=Bert P. |title=Photography: the art of composition|chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=2R88tIUXBS4C&pg=PA153|year=2005 |publisher=Allworth Communications, Inc.|isbn=1-58115-409-7|chapter=18. Street Lines|page=153}}</ref>

In the 1970s, Singh moved to [[Paris]] and over the following three decades, through rigorous training and exposure, he created a series of portfolios of [[color photography|colour photography]] on India. His style was influenced by [[Mughal painting]] and [[Rajput painting|Rajasthani miniature]] paintings, whose individual sections maintain their autonomy within the overall frame.<ref name="prasad" />{{rp|223}}

In his early work, Singh focused on the geographic and social anatomy of cities and regions in India. His work on Bombay in the early 1990s marks a turning point in his stylistic development.

Singh published over 14 books. In the last of these, ''A Way into India'' (2002), published posthumously, the [[Hindustan Ambassador|Ambassador]] car in which he travelled on all his journeys across Indian since 1957 becomes a [[camera obscura]]. Singh uses its doors and windshield to frame and divide his photographs. In the accompanying text, [[John Baldessari]] compares Singh to Orson Welles for his juxtaposition of near and far and to [[Piet Mondrian|Mondrian]] for his fragmentation of space.<ref name=gl>{{cite web|url=http://www.theglobalist.com/storyid.aspx?StoryId=4096|title=A Way into India|publisher=[[The Globalist]]|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110611063131/http://www.theglobalist.com/storyid.aspx?StoryId=4096|archivedate=11 June 2011}}</ref><ref>Sarah Boxer, "[http://www.indianembassy.org/US_Media/2003/june/India%27s%20Ambassador,%20a%20Shiny%20Supermodel.htm Final India's Ambassador, a Shiny Supermodel]", ''The New York Times'', 29 June 2003.</ref>

===Teacher===
In addition to his photographic work, Singh taught in [[New York City|New York]] at the [[School of Visual Arts]], [[Columbia University]] and [[Cooper Union]].<ref name="ind"/>

==Personal life==
In 1972, he married Anne de Henning, also a photographer, and the couple had a daughter, Devika Singh, who is curator at the Tate Modern and holds a position at Cambridge University.

Singh died on 18 April 1999 of a heart attack.<ref>Jon Thurber, "[http://articles.latimes.com/1999/apr/24/news/mn-30657 Raghubir Singh; Photographer Captured Color of Life in India]", ''Los Angeles Times'', 24 April 1999.</ref> Upon his death, the art critic [[Max Kozloff]] wrote, "If you can imagine what a Rajput miniaturist could have learned from Henri Cartier-Bresson, you'll have a glimmer of Raghubir Singh's aesthetic."<ref>[[#Do|Doyle, p. 114]]</ref>

==Controversy==
On 3 December 2017, artist [[Jaishri Abichandani]] organized a protest outside the Met Breuer, where Singh's "Modernism on the Ganges" opened as an exhibit on 11 October 2017. She accused Singh of having sexually assaulted her in the mid-1990s while on a trip to India where she accompanied him as an assistant.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Vartanian|first=Hrag|date=2017-12-05|title=Artist Alleges Raghubir Singh Assaulted Her, Stages #MeToo Performance at His Retrospective|url=https://hyperallergic.com/414856/metoo-raghubir-singh-met-breuer/|access-date=2021-05-30|website=Hyperallergic|language=en-US}}</ref> She
