By Light Stalking on in Cool Photos, Featured [ 6 Comments ]
Photographing statues in a way that makes the final image interesting can be very hard work. With a little thought, however, using interesting lighting, capturing them in the context of their surroundings or getting close to shoot the details can be very effective at making the final result more than just a snapshot. We think these photographs of Buddha statues go that extra distance in creativity and have come out with some great results. Share your own Buddha photographs in the comments!
