Description
Two sadhus inside a temple preparing for the day in Pushkar, Rajasthan, India. These men have no permanent βhomeβ, instead they live a nomadic lifestyle moving between the holy places throughout India. The man sitting on the bed granted me permission to take his portrait, only after a test shot to prove I was worthy enough as a photographer. We exchanged contact details to meet up again somewhere in the future.www.drewhopperphotography.com

This is a stunning photo. The color scheme and saturation is eye catching and harmonic, this kind of makes me see the color orange in a new way..? I think I've undervalued it's effectiveness and potential.
The focal length works really nicely in this and the lights are beautiful.
I'm glad that he acknowledged your skills, you clearly have eye and passion for photographing!

the word ganja comes from the 'river ganjes' also called the 'river ganja'
the word kush comes from the hindu kush mountains
and cannabis originates in india (indica)
and yea many sadhus use the plant for spiritual and ritual purposes
