Conversation
Acquaintance: Hi, Aunty Biola
Self: Hi dear.
Acquaintance: I noticed you create so much pictures of the street,
Self: Yes, i do
Acquaintance: Do you get paid for it?
Self : Not really, I just love doing it.
Acquaintance: Wow, how do you go about it, do you just point your camera at people?
Self: Yes but I wait to make sure I got what I want before shooting
Acquaintance: How do you know what you want?
Self: It is not everything I sling my camera to my neck or take it in my bag, what i do mostly is have a picture of the story i want t tell and boom, i weigh where i could get the stories and then dress like the street and sit where i needed to get the story, then shadow before shooting.
Acquaintance: Wow, Are you not always scared something might go wrong?
Self: Actually, that's true, sometimes, i get scared but i don't sometimes allows my fear to override what i already set my mind to do, so i try to sit and get a little acquainted with the people there before shooting.
Acquaintance: I saw a picture of the people praying you did and i loved it, how did you get permission for that?
Self: That particular picture is a stolen shot known as candid, I took no permission i just pointed my long lens and it got that beautiful shot.
Acquaintance: Thank you for this Aunty Biola
Self: You're welcome.
