Portrait of Ditte


Sometimes there are people I just need to draw and I'll be as rude as to say - wait I need to sketch you. 
Why ? Not that easy to answer but probably they carry something I would love to capture.

Photographer and film maker Ditte, check her site for her powerful subjects portraits, came to say hello as she heard there was a Portuguese in Nouakchott, she felt "saudades" ( nostalgie) of the language she learned as a young girl in Mozambique. In Mauritania making a documentary about the clandestines trying to reach Europe.
Her short films on her site shouldn't be missed.
