Arjun Purkayastha
Drag to set position!
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.

Inspired!
arjun has the gift of creating a masterpiece out of something very ordinary... very consistently.
i love your work Arjun ... very inspiring .. BEST WISHES
your pictures really reflect your passion and talent,how to put in scene. Congratulations
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.

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 :)
Read lessPeerless perspectives and brilliant compositions. Amazing work !
At any point of time I figure a third of all the pictures you have uploaded (currently 32 out of 91) are on Explore !! Need I say more ....... Truly Brilliant !
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 :))))) rEEna

Arjun, your photostream is amazing! i´m writing this testimonial because it´s take too much time faving every single photo, with this words i am faving your whole photostream!

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 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!
Read lessGreat photos (all of them). You put great perspective and visuals about Asia and life.
My Master ! Mrrrrreeeeeeeww !!! One of the greatest photographers I've seen on Flickr, for sure ! So intense, so deep pictures ! You can not be insensible to his work. Bravo ! Long life to you !
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.
