Graciela Iturbide (born 1942) is one of Latin America's most internationally renowned photographers, as evidenced by her 2008 Hasselblad Foundation award. Although she is best known for her series portraying her native Mexico, one of Iturbide's most popular individual photos is "Perros Perdidos" (or "Lost Dogs"), an image of several dogs in silhouette on a rocky outcrop, taken in India in 1998. Graciela Iturbide: No Hay Nadie/There Is No One examines the Mexican photographer's extended work in (mostly) cities in northern India — Varanasi, Delhi, Calcutta, and Bombay — over the past 13 years. Iturbide's black-and-white images are strikingly confident with their subject matter, skillfully capturing arrangements of objects, architectural outlines, and urban signage without drifting into visual tourism.
