  "Sanzen's photography is one of the happiest discoveries i've made, here on flickr. Someone's photostream through which i constantly go back to with still the same renewed pleasure.
  A perfect mix between photojournalism and art, his work has become an endless source of inspiration, and makes me realize how hard i have to work!
  
  His portraiture of India, a country i think of as one of the most fascinating in the world, is especially dear to me, as it shows the richness and diversity of this land like no other. And when i find myself back at home, missing India so much that it hurts, i know where to turn!
  
  Bahut Dhanyavad!"

  "Artist. Philosopher. Dreamer. Friend.
  
  All these words and more come to mind when I think of Sanzen and his photography. For someone to be able to capture the soul and essence of the wonderful people he photographs, you have to have a beautiful soul yourself!
  Each one of his pictures is a journey, a story. A journey into the eyes of the person, the story of their lives. I find his stream inspirational - a wonderful experience through a variety of cultures, feelings, places and people.
  This testimonial falls very short of what I actually feel about his beautiful talent, but unfortunately, this is all I can do with words....
  I'm hooked, Sanzen, to your wonderful golden light and insight into our incredible country and I'm sure anyone else visiting will feel exactly the same!
  
  The best I can say is Thank You.
  
  Love always,
  Divya"

  "All is written above... there comes a special feeling while you watch sanzen's pictures.. which i am sure everyone of us has felt but unable to put it into words.. the feel of the place and emotions within is exceptional.. i also love the yellowish orange tint that all of his pictures have in common and which really lifts the image..
  there are pictures that you generally feel saturated after watching once or maybe twice or thrice... but sanzen's pictures... you can keep on watching again and again and again... this is the beauty of it.. God bless."

  "Some photographers are gifted by location, some by talent, and yet there are some that can weave a story with what their eyes see, so we can understand its meaning without words. Sanzen has all of these things. There is a very identifiable style to his work and if you spend the time on his photostream you will begin to see a beautiful world unfold before you of the people he meets. Each one will reach out to you with the warmth of his eye. Only a beautiful soul can see such beauty, everywhere."

  "One adopts a routine here on flicker, pour coffee, look through the latest photos from your contacts and post a few photos of your own. But there are a rare few photographers that you study, you look beyond the surface details the tricks of the trade. Sanzen is one of these rare light moulding artists. At first you assume that it is the subject matter that he captures, or the rich colors, or the interesting dress, or the jewelry. Then it hits you long after the coffee has gotten cold - it is the humanness with which he sees his subjects, the ordinary glimpses into daily life. Sanzen has a thoroughgoing love of people and the talent to capture the life in people eyes. For that we must all be grateful. It is the consistency of vision that makes his pictures so important.
  
  All we can hope for is the international release of his book. If you are in publishing you could not do much better than this, He deserves the widest possible distribution.

  "recently, i had the honor of having my work compared to that of sanzen's, as fellow photographers voted for best in class of Excellence in Portraits and People Photography.
  
  if i had a little more moxie or chutzpah i would have voted for myself...
  
  alas, sanzen deserves top honors for his amazing ability to capture the color of people; the emotions, the hues, the life behind furrowed brows and rich brown eyes.
  
  sanzen, i humbly bow before you."

  "Sanzen is truly a special talent. The colors that he achieves in his work are so intense, they jump right out at you. His eye for light is subtle and sensitive. Obviously he approaches his work with tremendous intelligence. Many people should see his work, as it inspires feeling of awe, spirit and humanity."

  "I've just gone through Sanzen's entire photo stream, and what a pleasure it was! I want to walk beside Sanzen and meet those he meets, experience cultures he experiences, and take the same photos he takes (praying they could be half as good as his).
  
  Through his lens, Sanzen lets us meet exotic people in exotic places. Yet, at the same time, we see that they are real people, like you and me, and through his skill, he allows us to comfortably enter their world.
  
  Thank you, Sanzen, for the magic you put into my life!"
