This Raghubir Singh print shows two Kashmiri women on Dal Lake in 1982 — gathering lotus leaves from a wooden boat while ducks move around them, the whole scene rendered with Singh’s fully saturated color and his ability to make the ordinary feel like the exact right frame to stop in. Dal Lake Kashmir print work doesn’t get more specific than this: lotus leaves photo art that is also India color photography at its most visually complete. This Raghubir Singh print earns its place in Singh’s 1982 Kashmir body of work — one of his richest series.

Singh chose color when documentary photography meant black and white, and images like this justify that choice completely. The green of the lotus leaves against the water, the women’s clothing, the ducks — it’s vintage India wall art that color makes more true, not less.
