Undoubtedly, Many Of You Are Familiar With The Popular Lord Of The Rings Trilogy And One Of Its Influential Characters, Gandalf The Grey. 

Now, a tasteful photographer has taken a pictorial journey to Middle-earth in the form of this character.

Who, better than one of the most popular characters of Tolkien’s stories, can be our best guide on a different and visual journey to New Zealand (Middle Earth)? A task that Gandalf has done well.

Thoughtful photography in the appearance of this wise magician has traveled to all corners of the beautiful and vast land of New Zealand and has shared his path with viewers in the form of a collection of spectacular images. “Akhil Suhas” (Akhil Suhas) has trampled New Zealand in the guise of Gandalf during a 6-month trip.

Suhas named this journey of several thousand kilometers “Gandalf the guide” and documented all its moments in multi-documentary images. He says that he liked to record the beautiful scenery of this virgin land in his pictures and, like many other photographers, found New Zealand a suitable destination. But at the same time, he wanted to separate his path from his fellow photographers and do something unique.

He says that watching the Lord of the Rings trilogy, the immortal work of Peter Jackson, which was filmed in this country, inspired him in this way. He points out that New Zealand is representative of Middle-earth and was used as a location in both The Lord of the Rings and later The Hobbit trilogy, so who better than the character of Gandalf to immortalize these images; Because he is somehow the meeting point of these two film series and course the eye-catching beauty of the dreamland of New Zealand.

At first, he tried to record these images as a selfie, so he started using a camera mounted on a tripod with a timer, but the result was unsatisfactory. As a result, he changed his ways and began to seek help from others. The people who were present at that point at the same time or were on the same path were the best help to reach the desired result; Because, in this way, it would be better to show the surrounding scenery in the picture frame. Fortunately, people cooperated well with him, and as a result, the beautiful images captured by this photographer beautifully displayed a tiny human in the middle of a vast and pleasant landscape.

In the following, we invite you to watch some of the images recorded by this photographer.
