Exercise 9: Developing your confidence

The first exercise of "Part Two - People unaware" asks to choose an outdoor situation where there will be lots of people and activity, and take as many photographs as I comfortably can in one session.
Review the photographs afterwards, recall the comfort level I felt at the time, and consider to what extent this helped me in capturing expression and gesture.

I have to admit that I felt at ease in doing this exercise because it corresponds to my favourite photographic activity: street photography. I really enjoyed this easy exercise.

I decided to go out at Metz's local market and let guide myself by the inspiration.
I took about 300 shots and I selected the 12 photos I liked the most.
