We see great photography done in our modern world, but popular fashion photographer G Venkat Ram took it one step further. He accomplished this by recreating photo of paintings from legend painter and artist Raja Ravi Varma, using modern day celebrities as models and to came up with a 2020 calendar.

The models are dressed and styled in the same exact way the painting was done, and the photos were edited professionally to make it look like the models and background were a painting itself.

The great part of this initiative by G Venkat Ram was that he managed to feature many famous celebrities, among which were Shruti Haasan, superstar Kamal Haasan’s daughter, Khushbu Sundar, Lakshmi Manchu and many more.

The level of attention to detail from the pose of the model, the dressing, and post production editing is just breathtaking. 

His work for the 2020 calendar was done for Naam, a charitable trust founded by Mani Ratnam’s wife Suhasini.

History will always live on with icons like G Venkat Ram who preserve the beauty of art, and honor legends such as Raja Ravi Varma who have brought their nation a great name.

Let's take a look at these breathtaking photographs:
