You Won’t Believe These Enchanting Photos Of Night Sky Are Taken In India. They’re Beautiful!

Photography is an art as well as an exact science. And when the photographs you capture manage to evoke awe in the viewers, you know you have done something right. And when you turn a regular spot into awe-inspiring beauty, that is when you have ascended into the realm of higher beings.

Cyril Lucido Kuhn has, and he isn’t just any other photographer. He clicks photos of everywhere in India under the night sky, and they’re so enchanting, you’d have to look twice to make sure they aren’t photoshopped. (Spoiler: they aren’t).

See some of his amazing work below, which he has aptly titled Into The Darkness.

A self portrait of myself watching the Milky Way in Mussoorie. Had a great first experience of shooting the night sky here so close to home. Excited to be going to Parvati Valley soon, can't wait to capture the night skies there! 🙂

Shooting stars and the Milky Way for you. Saw some really amazing explosions in the skies (wonder what it was) and quite a lot of shooting stars while photographing the night sky
