... Arjun's photostream
|
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.

A travel junkie, caught between the dream world and the real world.

"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 collect people carefully.
The group is small.
Every member is unique.
Except for one thing.
They are all truly exceptional photographs.
Your work tutors me.
Your art leads me.
Your vision inspires me.
Thank you for doing what you do.

Dragon Heart says:
"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!"14th December, 2006

"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."
