To experience and capture ‘Braj ki Holi’ is every photographer’s dream, and this for me was made possible by Arun Saha. During the Holi photo-tour to Vrindavan, we realized it wasn’t an easy one, for it required a high level of physical, mental and logistical preparation. It is because of Arun’s experience and the relationships he has built there, that the tour became easy for us!

As a mentor, he is genuinely concerned about the quality of your work, is honest with feedback and open about tools & techniques he uses to get world-class photos. The tour met every expectation possible and I certainly look forward to more learnings with him.

After that I do Haldi Photo tour in Feb 2023 & again Holi Photo Tour in March 2023…Everything was very well organised.. This time Arun Sir also arranged rain cover for our cameras…The Transport, hotel & food was well arranged..The best part is that Arun Sir is so friendly & approachable that you can ask him to review or his suggestions on any of your photos clicked during the photo tour…Arun Sir also arranged a Photo review session on his busy schedule… From this 3 of Photo tour The haldi trip in this year experience was amazing…that’s my favourite actually.. I personally learnt a lot from Arun Sir on these 3 photo tours.. I met some senior photographers from India & overseas also & enjoyed a lot during these photo tours. I can recommended everyone to go out with Arun Sir.. Thank you.

In March 2023 I joined Arun Saha in his Indonesia trip. Though I know Arun for quite a long time and took part in many of his photo tours I was a bit apprehensive about this trip as it was his first Indonesia trip. But after doing the trip I realised that I would have missed some great photo opportunities if I had not joined this trip. The entire trip was amazing. The place was beautiful itself but in collaboration with the local photographers Arun arranged everything so flawlessly that we all had an excellent experience. We got numerous amazing photo frames, the hospitality was beyond expectations though the tour cost was very reasonable and above all Arun ensured it with great expertise that all participants come back home with lots of great pictures and he also told us to feel free to approach him if we need any kind of guidance or assistance regarding the post-processing of those pictures. We all came back with great satisfaction and almost all of us decided then and there that we would join Arun’s next Indonesia trip also.

I did a wonderful Holi photo tour with Arun. Everything was very well arranged before the tour started, we already received a lot of information and tips. And he arranged protection for our cameras. And during the tour it took us to the right places to take beautiful pictures and gave good tips and directions. But also the transport and hotel was well arranged. Thanks to Arun’s photo tour, we came home to the Netherlands with beautiful pictures. And working with photographers from India is a good addition and I wouldn’t have wanted to miss it. Looking forward to another photo tour with Arun and the Indian photographers.

I joined Arun for the Holi trip this year and the experience was amazing! Not only is Arun a master of compositions, he is very technically sound and makes for a superb mentor. I personally felt that I learnt a lot from Arun on the trip. I will definitely be doing another trip with him and would highly recommend him to others as well.

I am fairly new to the world of photography, and was looking for a tour which would further help me step into this art form. I had been
following Arun Saha’s photos both on Facebook and Instagram, and found them to be very soulful, always having a story behind them.
Recently, I got the opportunity to participate in a photo tour organised by him to cover Barsana and Nand Gao Holi 2023.
I found Arun sir to be a great mentor. He helped me solidify my basics, and gave me a good grasp on my camera settings and how to frame compositions. Physically, the tour was difficult, but with sir’s support and guidance, I was able to capture good photographs. In fact, he ensured that each one of us in the group was able to get good frames. The hospitality was also top-class and his assistant Satyendra Pratap was always there to help us with a smile on his face. I met senior photographers and made some new friends too. I look forward to attending many more photography tours with ASP under Arun Saha Sir.

What a joy to photograph Holi with top photographer Arun Saha. The preparations for the tour were very valuable and really helped us. The guidance was also optimal during the tour. I can recommend everyone to go out with Arun. I will definitely be back for one of his other workshops. Thanks for all the good advice and for your help Arun.

We had the great pleasure of meeting Arun on our recent trip to India. Arun guided us through a wonderful 2 days on the streets and the sights of Mumbai. His knowledge of the city and the right spots to capture great photos is second to none. He led us to areas at the right times to capture images with the perfect play of lights and shadows. His friendly and easy-going way helped us see India in a whole new light and we hope to travel back to India very soon and experience Arun’s Holi experience. Anyone interested in a photographic experience in India should definitely contact Arun.

I attended the Barsana Nandgaon Holi Phototour with Arun Saha sir in 2023. Whatever I write down here does not justify my experience during the entire phototour. The best part is that Arun sir is so approachable that you can ask him to review or his suggestions on any of your photos clicked during the trip. He arranged the tour to perfection and everything was planned so meticulously. He arranged for a photo review session at the end of our tour which I found to be the most unique and helpful part. This helped me to understand where I can improve my photography. Probably I would never learn as much as I have learnt during this entire tour. Met with several experienced photographers from all over the world which helped me to get their various perspectives as well.
Looking forward to attend the next phototour with Arun Saha sir. ❤️????

For past few years I was looking for a trusted Partner for visiting and photographing the Theyyam Tour. In between, we were hit by the Pandemic and two full years didn’t get any opportunity. This year March 2022, when things got a bit better, it was a great opportunity to go down and experience Theyyam in and around Kannur, Kerala region. This was made possible all due to Arun Saha, someone who took us into the magical land of Kerala. The stay was fantastic, food was fantastic, company of fellow photographers was awesome, made some new friends too. Arun Saha is a great mentor, someone who assists in details, does help with tips on what to do, what to expect, and where to stand. Honestly in the sea of people who converge at Theyyam every day and night, it’s the most difficult photographic tour I have experienced, as it tests your patience, and physical abilities including sleepless nights, day and night running around, very low lights during Night Theyyams and people moving in your frames all the time to get the best composition or frame is very challenging. Arun Saha made it all possible, thanks to him, did get a chance to photograph, meet wonderful photographers and most importantly experience the best classical and traditional art form festival which shouldn’t be missed by anyone in India and outside. Anytime recommended !!!
