A cult photography book operating somewhere between travelogue, fantasy and personal vision dedicated to Jodhpur and its royal family. Maharaja My Dream captures photographer Sumio Uchiyama’s immersive, romantic encounter with India and his time spent with the Maharaja, Gaj Sing II, over 8 years, filtered through memory, imagination and obsession. Part visual diary, part cultural reverie, the book unfolds as a richly layered portrait of a place both real and mythic. Uchiyama’s photographs drift between street scenes, architecture, textiles and intimate human moments depicting the Maharaja, rendered in saturated colour and dreamlike tones. The result is a lavish and atmospheric document of cross-cultural fascination at the height of late '80s visual excess.
