Candid

By , About.com Guide

Definition: Candid photos and candid photography describes photographs taken without the subject posing. Sometimes the subject is aware the photographer will take their photo at some point, but sometimes the subject is not aware at all that the photographer is there. Candid photos generally capture some type of motion or activity rather than just a static portrait. Many photographs of group activities, action sporting shots, and street photography are candid type photos.
