The third issue of Creative IMAGE Magazine, which is based on the theme of Landscapes! 

The cover photograph is an image of the Namib Desert by the European Space Agency, and is also a part of a special feature on landscapes as seen by satellite and radar imagery.

Besides reacquainting our readers with the marvellous life, work and contributions of Ansel Adams, we have a variety of interpretations of the theme.

The Volume 02 Issue 06 of Creative Image Magazine, a Raghu Rai Publication begins with some unseen images of Shri. S. Paul. The legend who lived and breathed photography. He once said, “One lifetime is not enough for photography.” It seems true now.  His images brought a soul into the rather dull photographs of the news of the day, which made people look over and over again.

In this issue we explore the ambiguous splendor of the ‘Holy Cow’ along all of India. And a vivid portrayal of ‘Animals in Daily Life’ as integral part of our culture and being. From the visual vivacity of Steve McCurry’s portfolio on India to the perspectives of Raghu Rai on the current status of our nation as a secular state, we present to you the varied standpoints from distant ends on the position of the Holy Cow by these masters.

A 100-page bi-monthly art photography publication, filled with a host of features and opinion articles, on the aesthetics of photography. 

Photography is one of the youngest forms of creative expression, and has seen quite a few changes in its relatively short maturing period. The purpose of Creative Image is to pick up photographs and bodies of work that are intuitive, well-explored, eloquent and offer a look inwards, as well as outwards.

The bi-monthly magazine, produced by Raghu Rai, one of India's most renowned photographers and the first Indian to become an associated of the celebrated Magnum Photos, will look at contemporary, emerging artists as well  as legendary names. Each issue will  be thematic and will largely cover work produced in the Indian subcontinent. There will also be showcases of works  by one master photographer from Asia, and one master from the West, along with conceptual, nature, landscape, abstract and experimental photographers from around the world.
