Taking Candid Pictures
Monday, November 6th, 2006So many people are buying digital cameras these days and making it so easy to take photographs. Some pictures people take are posed and not really showing the mood, or personality of the subject. Professional photographers use special lighting, props, and pose their subjects. So how does the ordinary person capture a subjects true personality and emotions.
Christine Peppler says in this online photography article: “Some shots don’t require posing. Many of the most meaningful shots are taken as subjects interact or are engaged in an activity. From images of children at play, a spouse reading the morning paper, a parent and child talking, or grandma gardening these are the moments that reflect the true personality of subjects.”
