〔即時新聞／綜合報導〕印度有名攝影師想捕捉紐西蘭的美麗景致，卻又希望拍出的照片能與眾不同，因此他靈機一動，在四處拍照時尋找當地人或旅客喬裝成賣座鉅片「魔戒」中的角色甘道夫，一系列照片發表後果然吸引許多網友關注。

英國「衛報」（The Guardian）報導，這名攝影師是21歲的蘇哈斯（Akhil Suhas），他花費了半年的時間在紐西蘭境內四處進行拍攝，而除了絕美的自然風光外，他也邀請了當地的民眾或遊客協助扮成「甘道夫」入鏡，據蘇哈斯表示，因為實在太多人拍攝紐西蘭的美景，他是在看了好幾次「魔戒」後突然想到，何不就讓劇中角色成為這一系列的照片的共同主題。

報導指出，蘇哈斯這半年來的旅程長達1萬5000公里，在他拍下的每張美照中都有「甘道夫」的背影，這也讓他的Instagram增加了5000多名追隨者。

started the hike to Isthmus Peak at 4:30pm, soon got a stomach cramp and really wanted to turn back but powered through the pain, next was the relentless uphill for 2.5 hours, reached the peak where we got panoramic views of lake wanaka, lake hawea and the southern alps, stayed for ???? and shot some ???? after, started our decent at 10:40pm, face planted while trying to ???? downhill and finally finished at 12:40am. just another adventure with #GandalfTheGuide @lakewanakanz @purenewzealand

Today is the beginning of a new project - #GandalfTheGuide. The inspiration behind this project was when I thought, "what is new zealand famous for?" 1） its landscapes and 2） you're right, it's obviously Lord of the Rings. So, I've enlisted the help of Gandalf to help me traverse Middle Earth and he's politely agreed to do so （now that all of middle earth is in peace）. ????here we are at @rotoruanz iconic Redwood Forest

witnessing the turquoise water at hokitika gorge with #GandalfTheGuide has definitely been a highlight of our journey through middle-earth. a little while ago, @purenewzealand featured some snippets of my journey with gandalf on their facebook page, to celebrate the 15 year anniversary of ???????? being home to middle-earth. I tried linking it in my bio, but it wouldn't work - so head over to their facebook to see the photos （including some exclusive shots that I haven't posted here）
