What is candid photography?
It is a photograph that is captured without creating a posed appearance.
For example:
-
when the subject is in motion
-
by avoiding prior preparation of the subject
-
by surprising the subject
-
by not distracting the subject during the process of shooting photos
Why candid photography?
‘Candid photography helps to create a private more intimate connection between the performer and viewer. My ultimate goal is to capture ‘natural emotion’ of a musician and their instrument. It is not possible to photograph music in of itself, but, I can capture a musician in their ‘zone’. Providing the artist with an emotionally charged and captivating album cover’.
