La femme aux tomates - a photo on Flickriver

            Pondichéry (Inde) - Cette photo, comme la précédente a été réalisée à l’ombre. Les couleurs des vêtements de la commerçante, associées à celles des tomates et des oignons suffisent à réchauffer cette scène à l’abri du soleil.
Ce n’est ni un instantané, ni une photo posée. Je ne me suis pas mis sous le nez de cette dame avec mon grand angle sans avoir discuté avec elle préalablement. Question de courtoisie élémentaire. J’ai commencé avec son accord à faire un portrait, puis quelques scènes plus larges pour englober l’environnement. 
Comme une relation de confiance s’était instaurée, j’ai pu faire quelques photos très naturelles. Je préfère cependant cette photo qui est la dernière de la série. J’ai déclenché au moment où elle relevait la tête. Elle a l’air de poser. Ce n’est pas le cas, elle ramassait vraiment ses tomates. 

The tomato seller

Pondicherry (India) - This photo, like the previous one, was taken in the shade. The colors of the shopkeeper's clothes, associated with those of the tomatoes and onions are enough to warm up this scene sheltered from the sun.
It is neither a snapshot nor a posed photo. I did not put myself under this lady's nose with my wide angle without having discussed with her beforehand. Matter of basic courtesy. I started with his agreement to do a portrait, then some scenes encompassing the environment.
As a relationship of trust had been established, I was able to take some very natural photos. However, I prefer this photo which is the last of the series. I triggered when she raised her head. She looks like she's posing. It's not, she was really picking up her tomatoes.
