The Photos

There are countless photos of muqarnas available online. This page features a curated list of my personal favorites. You can find my own photos in my Instagram Stories. I'm not a professional photographer; my images are taken primarily for research purposes, focusing on the details I need to study. For truly stunning photography, check out Glenn McArthur's Instagram. His images are not only beautifully composed, but he also includes insightful descriptions that add valuable context.
