Taking photos of people

In this afternoon, we talked about taking photos of people and the correct posture of photographer.

"Photographers must be respectful and should be friendly. Beyond, for me, taking photos of people is a good  opportunity to interact, to exchange between photographed and photographer. Should be good for both. I enjoyed myself a lot when I am taking photos of people. For me, the camera is a wonderful sociability tool", I said.

In fact, their behavior of teens were like that in the first outdoor class. They were respectful. They were friendly. They showed the pictures in the camera's LCD to the photographed. They interacted with the photographed. They played. They enjoyed themselves. It was a special moment to see their postures in the first outdoor class.

I said again just reaffirming about the correct posture that photographers should have when they are taking photos of people. They should ask the photographed before taking his photo.

"May I take your photo? You also can ask with body language. Position the camera toward the person, if he doesn't oppose, shoot. In spontaneous portraits, show the picture to the photographed after you took it", I said.

The act of photographing should be a pleasure for both (photographer and photographed). To show the photographed his picture is a good behavior. In this way, digital camera is amazing, because the photographers can show the photo at the same time they shoot. 

"We are UKONWABA. What means TO BE HAPPY. Then, the act of photographing should be a PLAYFUL HAPPY MOMENT for photographer and photographed!", I said.

After that, we walked around Langa to take photos! 

These are the photos the teens took today!
