The story behind the photo from Vincent's words:
 
Bonheur Flower (2014)
 
Portrait of Bonheur, a young florist from Bangui, Central African Republic. 
 
"Bonheur" means happiness  in French. He sells bouquets of flowers along the road in a street of Bangui, mostly on Sundays. One morning I asked him if I could take a portrait of him. "What do I get in return?" he asked. To thank him, I told him I buy the bouquets he wouldn't sell, if any were remaining. Deal. 
 
At the end of the day, I went back to meet him and he had 14 bouquets left... That is probably the only time I bought so many flowers at once! Carrying in my hands more  flowers than I could offer, we ended up taking this portrait of him. 
 
This day made us both quite cheerful.
