Accomplished travel and landscape photographer Arun Bhat’s works have been used by publications in India and across the world, all the way from Japan to USA. He is a professional photographer who has extensively travelled across India, creating some of the finest imagery of India’s landscapes and heritage sites.

Having travelled the country many times over and being used to waking up at 5am in bitter cold winter days, he has seen and captured finest landscapes all the way from Himalayas to the peninsular India but is yet to see anything as spectacular as the ‘morningscapes’ seen from the top of Hampi’s Hills.

A few updates..

It has been a terribly busy (the ever-present excuse for not posting much here!) and eventful January for me and the new year has kicked with a good note for me.

Along with professional photographer Shreeram, I have kick-started Darter, a venture on conducting photography tours across the country. We began with a photography tour of Hampi, which ran full and we received tremendous feedback from the participants. We will be stepping up on the gas with more tours and February will begin with a grand tour to photograph the wildlife in Little and Greater Runn of Kutch. Look up more about  us on our facebook page and do join us on our photography tours.

In two days, I will be leaving for a 20-day expedition braving the cold of Ladakh which falls below -20C and heading to the heart of the mountains. I hope to push the limits of landscape photography and hopefully come out with eye-catching images of the frozen yet stark Ladakh.

Stay tuned for more updates on the photography tours and images from Ladakh. Thank you.
