dare-devils Delighted Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is one of my favorite photo from Togo, Africa.
I find the facial expression of these two young boy priceless: they are shy and at the same time delight to be photographed.
This cleary sets the mood for all the children in the little village of Agou Nyogbo Agbetiko - where I worked for two weeks with Espace Sociale (Franco-Togolese humanitairian/development agency) and a few other young people from ISB to rehabilitate a kindergarten school.
I hope you like it!

Bonjour Anne-Sophie,

Un excellent portrait plein de vie et de joie avec les deux enfants très bien décentrés dans l'image et ce bon vieux tableau noir comme fond d'image. Très beau travail photo.
Bon dimanche,
Roger

Bonjour Anne Sophie
j'ai surfé dans ta galerie et trouve cette photo très intéressante, par sa composition et l'expression amusée des 2 garçons, pas raidis devant l'objectif.
Bon Dimanche

Hi Ann Sophie,

Thanks for your visit earlier - and belated welcome to TE.

This one is great capture you can immediately tell the boys are shy but as you say willing and the textured background is perfect. I wish I could understand the French to see what they are teaching them ;o)

Regards

Matt

Hi Anne,

Their postures are a bit stiff, but their smile are just so candid. Even though they do not have uniform, it looks like they are very happy at the school.
