Nice shot! =) How do you take pictures like these??? Were you talking to the boy? Do you know him? Or just approached, took the photo and went away? I’m not a photographer, but I like pictures like this very much and sometimes I’d like to try some, but I don’t know how to approach people to do that, I feel a bit intrusive!
Adriano, very good and crucial questions you have asked.
1. I was walking along a dusty road and at a distance saw the boy.I didn’t know him at all. I just saw him and loved the colours and i thought to myself…Mmmmmmh..thiz can make an interesting composition. I took the first picture at a distance,approached him and showed it to him. He was excited about it and i asked if i could take him another picture and he easily agreed. That’s when i took this shot. Its always a difficult thing to approach people but its worth trying. If you develop the habit of asking, you will be surprised at how easy it becomes to approach people.
You have an interested blog by the way. I would call it “The World in One Blog”
Definetely I should start doing that!!! Sounds all uncertain and demanding a lot of improvisation… too interesting to resist!
Thanks for the tips!
Great expression on his face…thanks for sharing how you got the photograph too..
Good stuff buddy, i agree with you, asking is the best thing to do. When seen with a camera in this case, you call for attention. Keep sharing
