Portrait#2 Hilde

This is Hilde she was shopping with her mother, as was I, at a thriftshop in Baarn.
The first portrait I took was from a person I knew, but this was the real challenge. Take a picture of a total stranger.

Omg, en je vraagt dat gewoon? "Mag ik even een foto van je maken?" hahaha... wel een goede portret foto... heb je haar email zodat je hem kan mailen? Moedig hoor :)

@madeinnl Heb de foto’s gemaild en zo staan stuntelen toen ik vroeg of ik een foto mocht maken. Dank je voor je reactie.

@quietpurplehaze I had to let you know. I did it, this morning I asked a total stranger if I could take a photo of her and she said yes.

She's so vivacious... and you captured that.

Her personality shines through. She looks very happy in the photo.

@keenamateur @vignouse @777margo Thank you all so much for your lovely comments. She was a little embarrassed by my asking her but she went along with it.

Nice job, very hard to for me to do too. Nice model though.

Such a joyous portrait. You obviously have the art of making your subject smile. I am so pleased!

@joev Thank you so much Joe, i’ve never been more clumsy, but it worked.

@quietpurplehaze Thank you so much for your wonderful comment. After the first shock, when I heard myself asking her, it was fun to do.

@jacqbb

Yes, it's strange isn't it "when I heard myself asking"! I have used that more than once in a commentary with a portrait!

@quietpurplehaze I hadn’t noticed that in your commentaries. But when i’m not quite comfortable, I hear myself say strange things sometimes.

@jacqbb

I just looked back through 10 recent portraits and found I used that phrase in 2! It's interesting what you said about saying strange things sometimes when you are not quite comfortable because I do exactly that too,specially in a French group (my French is fluent) when I get tongue tied!

@quietpurplehaze haha, great to speak French fluent, I understand it each time we go to France a little bit better. I only speak, almost, fluent menu......very important if you want to eat well 😉
Thank you for the follow, I will follow you back. I enjoy this kind of conversations.

@jacqbb

Me, too (conversations!) I can speak 3 words of Dutch but I cannot write them down so you will have to take my word for it!! Knowing the menu is good in any language.
