Typical of the Africans – may have few material possessions but they are always ready with a genuine friendly smile.
On a photographic note – would a fill flash bring out the darker areas of face or would it spoil the contrast of the smile?
I did actually try a shot with flash right after this one. But it seemed to take the character out of the shot! I’ve rarely had success using flash when shooting portraits!

Excellent portrait.
I’m not African, but I smile sincerely :D…
I like his smile. I can even see the smile from his eye 🙂
Eheheh, I like the Gm words: “I’m not African, but I smile sincerely”.
:-)))

Un très beau sourire communicateur… Un beau portrait.
