CANDID PHOTOGRAPHYCatching People doing what they
do
Candid Photos A genuine smile is
preferable to a forced one
Spontaneity is the key
Strive for photos where your subject looks natural, not posed
Candid Photos Remember that
taking candid photos is not about you, it is about what you see in your viewfinder, or in your screen
Keep your attention focused off of you
Candid Photos You want to avoid
being overly noticeable
You want to blend into the background
Avoid wearing bright colors
Stand or sit somewhere where you will be inconspicuous
Candid Photos Look for people
going about their business
Notice where the action is and frame your photo accordingly
Candid Photos Keep your camera
out of your eye line Make the most out
of the lens of your camera, from places people don’t expect you to take photos
Try zooming in all the way and then focusing on the action
Candid Photos Digital Cameras are
ideal for taking candid photos
The LCD screen allows you to not have to hold the camera to your face
If sitting at a table, keep the camera low
Candid Photos Be sure to follow
the Rule of Thirds Turn the grid on if
you have one
Candid Photos If an action is
happening or about to happen, position your subject at one of the intersections so that their face leads you into the photograph
Let your subject launch the action
Candid Photos Learn your camera’s
“shutter lag” time Prepare so that you
do not lose your photo due to “shutter lag”
It will become instinctual once you have worked with your camera for a while
Candid Photos You can reduce
your lag time by pre-focusing
Hold the shutter release half way down to pre-focus
Your camera is now ready to take the photo when the action moves
Candid Photos
Something not to do Avoid backs of
heads Avoid backs and
butts
