Jeune maman - a photo on Flickriver

Jeune maman

            Ambalavao (Madagascar) - Jeune maman revenant du marché avec son bébé bien arrimé dans le dos. Elle traversait la route pour rejoindre la station des taxis de brousse. Elle a été étonnée de me voir me précipiter dans sa direction et de tourner rapidement autour d’elle. En fait, je cherchais le meilleur angle pour éviter de me trouver en contre-jour. Et comme je me suis baissé pour photographier en contre-plongée, elle aurait été définitivement convaincue que j’étais un fou, si je ne lui avais montré la photo sur l’écran de contrôle de mon appareil. Visiblement ça l’a rassurée et elle m’a accordé un large sourire.
Si je lui avais demandé de la photographier avec son bébé, elle aurait accepté, mais elle aurait pris la pose et le naturel se serait envolé. Parfois, une photo il faut aller la chercher, même un simple portrait.

Young mother

Ambalavao (Madagascar) - Young mother returning from the market with her baby securely strapped to her back. She was crossing the road to reach the bush taxi station. She was surprised to see me rush towards her and circle around her quickly. In fact, I was looking for the best angle to avoid finding myself in the backlight. And as I bent down to take a low-angle shot, she would have been definitively convinced that I was crazy, if I had not shown her the photo on the control screen of my camera. Obviously this reassured her and she gave me a big smile.
If I had asked her to photograph her with her baby, she would have accepted, but she would have struck a pose and the naturalness would have flown away. Sometimes you have to go find a photo, even a simple portrait.
