Imagine: you are standing in a quiet temple in Sam Roi Yot, Thailand. In front of you, you see a statue of Buddha in meditation. The statue exudes a serene calm. In the background is an elephant, an animal considered sacred in Buddhism. As a photographer, I naturally had no choice but to take a nice picture of this.
I took this picture in that temple and chose dark colours in post-processing, so that the gold of the Buddha statue stands out even more. My aim is always to bring out the mysterious and mystical in my work. This picture is a good example of that. It is an image that invites you to stop and think for a moment.
