Capture The Moment Easily

Candid photography shows life as it really is. Unlike posed portraits, which are carefully planned and crafted to look perfect, candid shots are spontaneous and genuine. For candid photos, authenticity is more important than perfection.

• A person’s face is the first place to look for emotion. Even without any context or background scenery, a face can express a lot. It’s also constantly changing from emotion to emotion, giving you an endless source of interesting shots. When you’re struggling to find inspiration, try looking at faces and go from there.
• A candid photo doesn’t have to be completely unplanned. In fact, you might get better shots if you plan part of the photo, then wait for the other part. For instance, you can plan the composition, then wait for someone to enter the frame.
