In this thread, I am going to talk about "Candid Photography"
In the era of planned selfies, candid photography stands out as a unique and real approach to capture the world. Unlike planned images, candid shots provide a raw and unfiltered look at actual situations, showing emotions and stories that are usually ignored.
Candid photography is a method of taking photographs without the subject's knowledge, capturing them in their most natural situation. This type of photography avoids staged situations, resulting in a more authentic picture.What is Candid Photography?
Why Candid Photography?
- Authenticity : Candid photos capture the essence of a moment. A person's unfiltered and genuine expression of laughter, surprise, or thinking.
- Storytelling : Each candid photo has a story to tell. Whether it's a child's wonder of a street performer or a peaceful moment between friends.
- Emotion : The raw feelings captured in candid photos strike a deep connection with viewers, creating a strong emotional bond with the picture.
