In Order to start my research on a true understanding I researched the real definition of Candid Photography. This way I can make my research opinions and comments as accurate as possible in order to create an accurate conclusion about how the genre developed.
Definition:
'A Candid Photograph is a photograph in which there is no subject preparation and the image is captured either by surprising the subject or by taking an image without distracting the subject.'
Therefore a Candid image is technically a photograph in which the model or numerous models are not aware they are modelling at all. This could range from a beautiful accidental image or an image which had to be patiently and sometimes excruciatingly waited for. A Candid image is all about capturing the unaware and revealing natural natures in civilisations and social situations. This is to expose and reveal the characteristics of mainly human nature.
