Truly Candid

Unscripted, Undirected, Unpredictable, Genuine Moments

These photos can’t be planned, only caught in-between moments. Often people aren’t looking directly at the camera.

Directed Candid

Directed poses with directed reactions

These photos have a ‘Candid feeling’ but are directed by the photographer. Example: Telling everyone to laugh or cheer.
