To me, photography is fiction. An imaginary tale that I am narrating. A figment of my imagination. An exaggerated moment that I see with my Third Eye. My work is about bringing out the moment that I ‘see’ and want to ‘show’. More often than not, it is not close to what ‘reality’ was when I took it.

    "Arjun’s pictures are simply A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. I stare at each meticulously framed and clicked picture open-mouthed and absorb the tiny details and accents that others may miss but Arjun will most definitely not :) And this is what gives his pictures the edge when/if compared to most peoples work. Each picture tells a story, that you can interpret according to your current mood. If God is in the details, Arjun has found him :)"

    "Arjun's photos have the third dimension..depth! Every picture of his seems to speak to you and is alive with 'meaning'. If you want to see spectacular pictures, put his photos on a slideshow, sit back and get delighted!"

    "I do not write testimonials as a principle :)

    But when it comes to ARjun, he absolutely flummoxes me with the magic he weaves with his marvellous, out of the world and surreal work!

    He is a magician and very engimatic one, at that :)))))

    "I feel ashamed when people praise my photographs because once you have seen his work you feel guilty taking credit or giving credit for anytthing less. I know Arjun through his photographs- A person who takes such wonderous shots sure possesses a sensational mind to create Photographs like he does. he has just 50-55 odd shots in his flickr account and each one is a winner.- just a request Arjun, put up some more of your work so that we get to appreciate and learn a lil bit more.

    Cheers!"

    "I am bewildered by seeing no testimonials yet for this talented guy. Arjun's photographs magically take the viewer to a warm place, at times serene, at times joyful. His photographs capture a calm energy and he is amongst the best for me on Flickr when he is at the top of his game capturing subjects."
