The greatness of the Tatev monastery in photographs

As you know, in photographs it is very difficult to convey a real picture not only of nature, but also of a building, especially a historical or church one. However, this time it seems that the author of the photographs knows his stuff or he has a natural talent.

At least the author’s proposal to shoot the subsequent episodes of Game of Thrones in Tatev is clear to me. Judge for yourself by the photos published below. Tatev and its surroundings are impressive in the photographs and give an almost real perception of the monastery as a historical building.
