The Art Of Avoidance.: 1990

During the 90's because the camera was becoming more and more lightweight and easily accessible people began to focus on themselves rather than documenting the life around them and candid photography died out for a little while as fashion photography became more and more popular. However i did find a photographer who i count as a candid artist although he photographs in a rather odd way.

Justin Quinell created his own pinhole cameras and photography during the 90's after picking up his first camera at the age of 11. His images are created by his own camera's he makes one of which fits inside of his mouth and he takes images using the pinhole effect.

He took pictures of things such as his young children and his dentist. I believe these count as candid images especially he images of his children as they are too young to be aware that they are having their photo taken and even so the camera is hidden in Quinell's mouth and so the photo is captured without them knowing in first instance. The dentist however could be more criticized as the images could have been posed however the image could be a moment of captured surprise just before the dentist noticed the small camera in his mouth.
