Tuareg girls Photo

Photographer’s Note

Tuareg girls/women at the festival in the desert in Essakane outside Timbuktu.

Most of the time I was too scared to take portraits of this proud people (at least of grown-ups), this is one of the few where I gathered some courage and asked if I could take a photo.

"Most of the time I was too scared to take portraits of this proud people (at least of grown-ups),"

Natural attitude of a real photographer, eh ?
(:-)))))))))))))))))

Pretty good photo, though.
No reason to complain - whatsoever!
In accordance with the old traditions of good photography.
Nicely finished, immaculate presentation.

Have a great WE, Simon

Hi Simon
A fine portrait indeed - the different levels of blur and the poses works nicely - wonder what the woman chews.

Regards
Jeppe

Hi Simon,
Excellent group portrait, perfect focus on your main subject. ALthough the backlight was a bit too much for comfort, you have still done a good job.

Hello Simon,
I would also be scared, although I have a long experience. These do not seem to be very shocked about it, and the result, given the circumstances, is really good.
I wish you a good week - Izzet
