Suspicious by Ryszard Wierzbicki

Children are always suspicious in front of adult foreigners. This is normal. The challenging job for a Traveling Photographer is how to overcome this barrier in between. I use the method of ‘sharing’. I just try to share of what I have done and show the kids the effect on the display of my DSRL camera. Usually it works and children are more trustful and even laugh. Sometimes you need to be more creative and should start playing with them or make jokes. Besides of this, I always have some sweets in my pocket to say: ‘Thank You for a photo’.
