It’s not often that Indian documentary photography

comes to London, but Raghu Rai – a Magnum photo
agency photographer and one of India’s best-known
photographers – is currently exhibiting a number of
grainy black & white images in the capital. Born in
1942 in a small village in what is now Pakistan,
Rai was invited to join Magnum personally by Henri
Cartier-Bresson in 1977. His images encompass the
frenetic pace of life in India’s busiest cities, but also
the calmer, contemplative moments of individual
experience. ‘Over the years much has melded into
India,’ he is quoted as saying. ‘It is crowded with
crosscurrents of many religions, beliefs and cultures.
The images [taken of India] must speak these
complexities through a multi-layered experience.’
Sometimes suggesting life outside the frame by
way of a stray foot or arm, Rai’s images offer a slice
of the fraught but fascinating cycle that is human
existence. His images are also part of the exhibition

For every iconic image there are often 20-30 other
versions that just didn’t work. Like ‘Migrant Mother’, the
subject may be facing the wrong way. Or like Ché Guevara,
someone may be stepping into your frame. We rarely get to
see these missteps, but they can be a valuable insight into
how the creative mind works.
In what has already made a strong claim for unique book
of the year, The Contact Sheet brings together the trials and
errors from more than 40 top photographers and their
iconic images. Dorothea Lange’s aforementioned ‘Migrant
Mother’, Elliott Erwitt’s session with Marilyn Monroe, Saul
Leiter’s portrait of Diane Arbus, David Hume Kennerly’s
shot of Nixon waving goodbye as he boarded his helicopter
and many more feature in this splendid compilation, which
helps you better understand the thought
processes of these luminaries. The candid
interviews are equally engaging and make The
Contact Sheet even more deserving of a spot
on your bookshelf. Jeff Meyer

Landscapes Create Your Own Calendar
throughout the year, based on

when they’re at their best in terms
of colour and light. His stock library
of more than 1,000 photographs from
hundreds of locations around the island
speaks for itself.
In 2005, just after he started taking
pictures full time, Steve was approached
by a local publisher who’d seen his work.
After viewing Steve’s back catalogue of
four years’ worth of pictures, the publisher
selected 12 for what became Steve’s first
calendar. The print run of 1,500 copies,
priced at £6.99 each, was an instant
sellout, and that set the precedent for
succeeding years.
It was after he had produced this first
calendar that Steve says his picture-taking
skills evolved. Previously, he would shoot
anything that interested him, but later he
only saw potential pictures in terms of how
they might fit into a calendar. Gone were
the upright shots, as Steve now shoots
exclusively in landscape format, while
the composition had to somehow reflect
the month or season in which it was taken
for him to press his shutter button.
Based on his initial success, Steve the calendar into the shops? ‘Finding the February, months. So if I find a month-specific subject

By the beginning of March everything
must be ready to send to the printers so the
calendar is ready for sale on the internet,
and in shops and galleries by April. The
goal of any calendar publisher is to sell
out by Christmas.
Finding the right printer, though, is just
as important as choosing the right images,
Steve warns. He says that to get the most
value for your money you should do some
comparison shopping. He spent a lot of
time doing internet research of various
UK-based printers, which he narrowed
to a shortlist of six based on price and
turnaround time. He then requested six
sample packs of printed materials from
each company so he could inspect their
quality, and made his decision from there.
‘I decided on a firm called Printing.com,
based in Southampton, Hampshire [visit
www.printing.com], which included all the
design work, plus a 14-month calendar
delivered to the island for £3,800, which
was the same price as a 12-month calendar
being offered by other printers,’ says Steve.
‘It’s also worth asking if the printer can do
any deals or offer a discount on bulk orders.
Sometimes they do, so it never hurts to ask’.

However, sometimes the
grip and balance of a camera can
make any difference in mass more
or less noticeable when it is held.
Despite its additional 150g, the EOS
7D doesn’t feel significantly heavier in
the hand at first, but after a few hours’
shooting some may find the extra
weight has more impact. The K-7 is
also appreciably smaller, so it fits more
easily into a slim bag and feels more
discreet when you’re out shooting.
Despite the cold and wet conditions
encountered during much of this test,
I never felt that either of the cameras
might slip from my grasp. The two
fingergrips are good, but the EOS 7D
provides a little more room for the
fingers and those with larger hands
may find that their little finger has to
slip under the K-7’s body rather than
around the contoured handhold.
Despite the lower weight of the K-7, I
find the grip of the EOS 7D a little more
comfortable to use over long periods.
