CANDID CANDID CANDID! I’m really feeling like candid-style shots are my thing, I love a photo that feels like capturing a moment. I need to develop some in-shoot strategies for capturing candid shots.
Props.
This is a major element for me. I’m beginning to realize how they add visual dimension to a portrait, and offer a complex of creative options. Below is a list of props I’d like to start using.
- disco ball
- sheer bolts of cloth and interesting fabrics, scarves
- masks of all sorts
- mannequins
- flowers
- various viscous liquids
Poses.
Dancing.
Locations.
- Record store
- Bar
- Photo booth
- Union Station
- Neighborhood metro station
- Cafe – shots with subject inside, shots through window from outside with subject inside
- Subject behind a window
- Poles, lamp posts, sign posts etc.
- Graffiti art walls
- Classic cars
