I'm really happy to share this photos with you because after a bit of a break, I'm finally back to my dynamic of taking photos of strangers in the streets. But this time, I've added something extra: at the end of the interaction, I ask them what makes them happy.
I chose this question because I wanted to evoke a positive feeling in those who see the content. Stay until the end to find out this girl's answer!
What caught my attention about her was that she was well dressed in a blazer, something a bit formal and uncommon in my city. When I saw her, I noticed she was in a hurry, but she was still kind enough to stop for a moment and let me take her photos.
The girl told me she didn't know what to do in front of the camera, so I helped her a bit with the poses. But she actually looked really good in front of the camera, so it was easy to get great shots of her.
For the next photo, I asked her to hold her glasses in her hands, that photo always looks really cool:
For the next two photos, I asked her to sit on the ledge we had nearby, and that's how we got a bit of variety in the photos:
Since the girl had a somewhat "business- ike" appearance, I suggested we could take some photos as if she were walking with her phone. That's exactly how I saw her approaching at first time, and she looked very interesting:
I showed her the photos, and she liked them. The girl was very happy with her photos. At the end of the interaction, I told her that as part of the content, I was asking people what made them happy, and her answer was:
Having my mom alive with me every day, by my side.
I hope you enjoyed this interaction as much as I did, and thanks for watching!
