Thanks for the comments Guys. we have a lot of new African immigrants coming over to Australia at the moment and they are some of the most gentle people you would meet. I have had trouble shooting dark skin tones before, with not being able to get the exposer the way I wanted it. I always had trouble with light flare on their smooth shiny skin. Then I had a aha moment.....the basics of photography....doh. focus on shades of grey... and your colour mix becomes perfect....so now bring on any dark skinned person....I can make them pop in photos.... I love street photography...and interesting faces...
