Finalist Portrait · May 2024
Sadhu at the ganges
I came across a Sadhu at the Ganges riverbank in Varanasi, India. His eyes held a captivating energy, seeming to encompass the suffering of the world. When he agreed to a portrait, I used a wide-angle lens and got extremely close to capture that mesmerizing look. What appears to be his pupils are actually reflections of my lens, which gives me chills. I am very grateful for this encounter.
