the Holy Sites of Buddhism

Sacred places exert a great fascination. They attract people, give comfort, are places of gathering, community and rituals. They reflect the identity of a religion and tell a lot about its history and traditions.

A gleaming white temple like a work of art made of frost, statues in candlelit caves, massive red monastery walls in the midst of majestic mountains: in images of quiet and authentic beauty, our photographer Christoph Mohr has captured the most important and extraordinary sacred sites of Buddhism. From the white temple in Chiang Rai, Thailand to the marble mountains near Da Nang, Vietnam to the juniper groves of the Reting Monastery in Tibet.

Christoph Mohr's special, inspiring images reveal the teachings and life of the historical Buddha, tell of the diversity of Buddhist sites and provide unusual insights into the everyday world of the believers.

CHRISTOPH MOHR AT MAURITIUS IMAGES

Christoph Mohr has been living and working in Cologne, Germany, since 1999. As a camera assistant, he worked on film productions such as "Lammbock" and "Das Wunder von Bern" as well as on documentary films. After a shooting in Manila, Christoph was so enthusiastic about the photos he took with him that he decided to become a travel photographer. His artistic approach to light and colour leads to very impressive photos of the various destinations, mostly in Asia. In addition to landscapes, he is also interested in the social and political aspects of the regions he travels. With his balanced mixture of portrait, landscape, documentary and reportage photography, he provides interesting and comprehensive impressions of all his destinations. In 2011, Christoph Mohr won the first prize of the "Green Beijing in the Eyes of Foreign Friends" Photo Contest. In 2012, he won the third prize at "The Spirit of Beijing" Photo Contest.
