Introducing: The fifth issue of Creative IMAGE Magazine, which is based on the theme of ‘Wildlife! We present the surrealistic and ambitious project of Nick Brandt which strives to present wildlife of East Africa in a way which mirrors the concerns it faces in today’s industrial development minded world. In the special feature, we aim to showcase the diversity of wildlife across the world along with the manifold issues that plague them today – from exploitation of their habitats to extinction of their species. We look at the 40 year long career of Rajesh Bedi and how his love for the animals combined with his relationship with the camera. This issue provides a preview into Valmik Thapar’s latest offering – a set of three books chronicling the diversity of India’s wildlife through photographs as well as text by some well-known names.

Creative Image Magazine Description:

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.
