Photo Story

arc Schultz is a professional photographer based in Thailand

for over 20 years. His work spans various styles but he is especially passionate about capturing scenes of customary Thai life and culture. Schultz was inspired to capture this series of Buddhist temple murals in Samian Naree Temple and Bode Bon Temple in Bangkok, captivated by their spectacular colours, fine artistry and the window they provide into Thailand’s rich and diverse history. All the images were shot using Sony cameras and Canon lenses, using only available light to fully preserve the natural appearance of these stylistic masterpieces.
