Hi Désirée. When the display is in the shade it usually photographs well. The girl holding the camera is wearing a dark top and that helped too.
I took a similar photograph last year, where I had to juggle the composition and exposure, it is in my Street Gallery.
Unable to link directly to the shot.
The thumbnail photo is a boy holding a cell phone camera. (1st photo for now)
Hi Désirée.
Usually, people are a little self-conscious when they see a camera and change their body language or put on their photo face, so I don’t ask, as those types of images will be a lot different from what I am trying to achieve here.
Suggestions?
Maybe start by taking photographs of your neighborhood with a digital compact or your favorite camera and a wide or standard lens, and after a while, as you practice lighting and composition, you will see the themes that attract you starting to form.
You could find that you prefer to have no people in your photographs or will be determined to make those little dots (people) grow and be the main subject of your image and face toward the camera.
Simple things like getting used to your camera’s settings without having to fiddle with it, and having a definite purpose will make a big difference when photographing people.

Nice shot. Good that your close & took it from a great angle.
Love this. Excellent framing.
Great photo. Was it difficult to catch the camera’s display on your photo?
Thanks for the comments.

;)) Peace*
I keep coming back to see what’s new, but I am not disappointed to see this shot again. I just love this.
Thank you for your reply. Was it just luck that she held the camera in the shade, or did you ask her to move a little?
I’ve always found it uncomfortable to photograph people without them knowing and I am too shy to ask. Any suggestions?
