[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
In a street of Rufisque, near Dakar, one day I went to visit the production units of the women working on transformation of local products (fruit juices, jams, flours, ...).

The children were so curious of the camera, they wanted to see them on the screen.
We laughed a lot ...

Heylo!!
No doubts that you had fun there, especially when photos and camera are involved.
The boy seems quite serious, but I can almost imagine what it must have been like for them to see themselves on the screen. Always a nice surprise that a little square-type-thing looks exactly like you :)
Great capture of the moment, the faces and the sun!

P.S. Love her hairstyle!

Very emotional & natural kids portrait. Just good captured moment! Congratulations:)

Hi Sylvie!
My best compliments for this beautiful photo. I love how these children have interacted with your camera, and the different expressions that they have on their faces. What a great spontaneous capture.
Best regards
Lori

hi sylvie,

nice shot. I would have remove in photoshop the car at the top of the picture. see that you are facing the same high contrast as I had in mali. in photoshop there is an adjustment "highlight and shadows". using this option creates more detail in the faces.
can do a workhop for you if you like to see the differences.
kids ... always a pleasure to take pictures from. hope you have more of these ..
regards frans

hi SYlvie,

If they could see this !!! They would be very proud :) They are great. I love a lot such photos, it tells a lot about a country.
see you, inn :)
