Hindu Cows, by Toni Meneguzzo

Italian born Toni Meneguzzo has taken a break from high fashion photography in Milan to capture images of rural India's highly decorated sacred cows.

“In a way,” says Meneguzzo, “it’s like shooting models. I’m still looking for a good composition: four legs on show, a good profile, perhaps one hoof slightly forward, the head turned. Cows, like fashion models, have such serene elegance.”
