Candid vs Posed

Original date: 15AUG2016

Here I have a couple of examples of candid vs “posed” shots. I use the quotations marks because they already knew I was going to take the picture, I snapped a few off while they weren’t looking and then I asked if I can take a few more.

This shot was actually the first of the day.

At first I thought I didn’t like that he smiled, but it turned out to be more than I wanted. It gave me the reason to think of the smile project, of getting people to smile while I portrait shoot them. I have several of those and I put them to the side because I didn’t like them at the time. I think for my next post I will be bringing in on the begging stages of the “Smile” Project.

This is the candid shot…

This is the candid shot of the day. It shows a much different emotion.

This is what I am working on, and I have many more from previous shots that I have to add as well and I will be doing that within the next few days.

Also I participated in a wedding photoshoot and a family portrait shoot. Maybe I will share a few of those.
