Raghu Rai named Fujifilm brand ambassador

Known for associating with stalwarts of the photography community, Fujifilm has been working with artists on numerous projects. With this alliance, the brand truly wants to redefine the art of photography and having a Padma Shree awardee on board capturing the splendour of Ajanta Ellora caves makes it all a surreal experience. Popular for seizing the moments through his lenses, Rai comes with over 55 years of work experience in the field of photography. Along with pursuing his passion for photography, the veteran has also written 56 books that take us on a journey filled with knowledge, tricks and wonders.   

Haruto Iwata, managing director, Fujifilm India, said, “We are thrilled to have Raghu Rai, onto our platform of X and GFX photographers as an ambassador. Raghu Rai is a brand in himself who has time and again showcased his creativity through his projects. His art work and books are a testimony to that and at Fujifilm India, we are ardent fans of the esteemed photographer. With this association, we aim to amalgamate Indian culture, architecture and landscape with photography. We are really excited to have him as the face of the Fujifilm X and GFX Series and are looking forward to a wonderful journey of adventure, aesthetics and inspiration.”

Arun Babu, general manager electronic imaging and optical devices division, Fujifilm India, said, “We are delighted to welcome Raghu Rai as our ambassador for our X and GFX range of Mirrorless cameras. We are sure, this association would not only bring out the architecture and landscape of our beautiful India but will also showcase our excellence in mirrorless cameras and will help photography community to understand power of Fujifilm mirrorless cameras and lenses. Fujifilm cameras are designed with years of experience, knowledge, and research into a mirrorless large format camera that redefines the boundaries and limitations of how photographers and filmmakers creatively express themselves.”

Rai added, “I am excited to be a part of this venture. I have been an admirer of Fujifilm cameras and I’m eager to try out there latest GFX range of medium format cameras and lenses. With mirrorless technologies increasingly dominating the world of photography, I believe, Fujifilm offers the finest medium format mirrorless cameras that help photographers realise their truest vision. I have always admired the image quality, colours and the compact camera body that Fujifilm offers in its mirrorless range. This association will be a great opportunity for me to engage with camera enthusiasts and reveal the power of photography by capturing our very own culture, architecture and beautiful landscapes.”
