We were given a task to try to take candid shots of people, which are shots that the subject(s) are unaware you are taking them so you get them in a natural position and posture. The one on the left is my brother and he fell asleep on a car journey. This is one of the easiest ways i could take a shot as they are not aware of anything around them. The next one is of Dan who was chatting away to another person across the room and my sly "checking Facebook " look got me a quick snap of his relaxed position on a chair. Then again Owen and Jessica where hugging and concentrating on another person so i managed to take a candid shot of them.
This was my selfie pictures that i took of myself and as the idea goes they are not candid. The main focus is trying to look the best possible for the camera. Further more it also is a way to take pictures of myself in places when I'm on my own. The one on the left is of me with symbols of my interests, for instance my laptop and guitar. the one in the modes is me on a cafe which i was sending the picture to show where i was. And the last is me on holiday with my sister on top of the world. A selfie is a picture that is so staged i pulled a face so it looks like I'm having more fun than i am. It portrays a fake image of the person taking it.
The main differences between candid and not is that candid the subject has to unaware of a picture being taken, as yes you can stage a candid photo but its not as genuine as a per on in there natural environment feeling relaxed.
