“Photography has been one of the most meaningful and creative journeys of my life—and that path wouldn’t have taken the shape it has without the guidance and support of Happy Mukherjee and Abhishek Basak.We first crossed paths in 2018, and even back then, I was instantly impressed by their work. ...The way they captured human emotions, vibrant culture, and life on the streets left a deep impact on me. Their photographs didn’t just document moments—they told powerful stories. I knew immediately that I wanted to learn from them, and over time, I was lucky enough to not just learn, but to work alongside them.Together, we’ve had the privilege of photographing *people, travel scenes, festivals, and street life across Purulia, Birbhum, Varanasi, Nagaland,Pushkar, Jejuri, and many other places. Each journey brought new challenges, new perspectives, and countless moments of creative growth. From the tribal vibrance of Purulia and Birbhum, to the spiritual energy of Varanasi, to the colorful chaos of Pushkar and the sacred rituals of Jejuri—every location taught me something new, and they were always there to guide me through it.Happy’s calm presence and ability to notice the subtle beauty in a scene taught me patience and precision. Abhishek’s fearless use of light, contrast, and composition pushed me to step out of my comfort zone and experiment boldly. Whether we were wandering the streets, talking about life, or waiting hours for the perfect frame—these experiences have stayed with me.More than mentors, they became friends. They never held back from sharing their knowledge, offering feedback, or encouraging me to trust my own eye. Their influence goes far beyond camera skills—it shaped the way I see the world.To Happy Mukherjee and Abhishek Basak, thank you for everything—for the inspiration, for the memories, and for believing in me. I’ll always be grateful to have shared this journey with you both.”

“How’s my experience with AH photography? Without getting dramatic I would say this association has taken my vision and abilities to next level —... specially on how a frame should be seen and how we can confidently use manual mode. The learning I got here was not academic, rather experiential. You observe what they are doing, how they are doing, what short capsules of instructions they give — and thus you learn organically.In any event of AH Photography, it’s impossible to come back without fantastic frames. Their focus is always on ensuring participants get quality frames captured.I’ll not avoid the important topic of cost. You may get some others charging upto 20% less for similar events, but I bet my camera that the gap in quality is way too much.While managing events they are meticulous, professional, hardworking and carry lot of patience. Additionally Abhishek and Happy bring a wonderful balance to the team, almost like a Ying Yang model.”

“Myself Prof Dilip De. Sarker,M.Sc., Ph.D, have been attending the AH photography workshops since its’ formation in the year 2019. After my retirement I wanted to develop my hobby of photography as a result,... in due course it became my passion. I have earned the distinctions of FIAP, FIP and Royal Photographic society. I can still remember that I was eagerly collecting the FIAP acceptances and awards, but to my standard it was not possible to achieve EFIAP/Silver for attaining silver, because, I have to gain 300 acceptances with 100 different works in 10 diff. countries. Suddenly, there was an invitation for AH photography workshop in the month of November 2019 at Purulia. I participated in that workshop and collected many good photographs, which paved the way of enabling me to achieve EFIAP/s. And, since then, I have been attending almost all workshops outside Bengal with them. Both, Abhishek and Happy are very passionate photographers and look into the problems of individual photo artists during the workshops. If, there be any specific personal program, they also individually look into. In the way I have achieved EFIAP/D1 and LRPS, ARPS also EFIP/gold in nature. All the achievements must I acknowledge to them. They are honest and their stand of photography teaching is of highest standard.”
