[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This was actually my first encounter with the indian way of saying "yes".
I've already read several times before going to India that the indian way of saying "yes" is slightly different from the way we usually do in Europe.
So when I asked this woman if I might take a picture of her...
she lightly shook her head from left to right and you can guess...
I totally mistook it as a "no". When infact it meant "yes".
Somehow suprised she was taking a pose I then finally remembered.
And when I got back to Switzerland it happened just the other way around.
Impressive how quick one adapts to new customs.

Thanks for looking!

Bonsoir Laura,
Ton portrait est très coloré et magnifiquement rendu sur ce fond de roches noires.
Dommage que le modèle n'aie pas tout à fait le sens de la pose... mais ce n'est pas donné à tout le monde.
Côté photo c'est top en tout cas.
