Hello Knights 
Hope you guys are doing well 
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.

What is Candid Photography?

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.

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.

Tips for Great Candid Shots

• ​​​​​Blend In : In candid photography, invisibility is important. Try to blend in with the surroundings and avoid attracting attention to yourself or your camera.

• Use a Telephoto Lens : Use the Telephoto lens of your smartphone to capture the moments from a distance without interfering with the scene.

• ​​​​​​​Be Ready : Always keep your camera ready because moments might pass quickly. To capture the perfect moment, adjust your camera's shutter speed quickly.

• ​​​​​​​Be Patient : The best moments are worth waiting for. Wait patiently and pay attention, and be prepared to take a picture when the opportunity arrives.

 

Examples of Candid Photography

One of the most common types of candid photography is probably street photography. Candid photography are frequently used by event photographers to capture actual interactions and emotions, creating a more complete picture of the event.
