I believe that Candid photography itself hasn't changed as the concept remains the same as we try to capture a moment of purity whether that be pure emotion or a genuine moment in time. The purpose was to document an immediate moment which may have been difficult in the earlier era's with the large set up slow shutter camera's however Candid images were still faintly present.
The idea has not changed much if not at all. However its the people involved with the images that have changed as we have witnessed the development of era's industrialization and community battles and the effects that this has had on the people of the world and how each generation has shaped to become the people we see today.
Candid photography is a pure moment in which we treasure because it reminds us of the unpredictability of human nature and how we all react individually and yet in sync as we become placed into stereotypes and communities.
In the modern day Candid is seen as a documentary form of photography as we are secretly documenting just one second of a humans life in which we know nothing else about which i think is a beautiful gift modern photography has given us with the faster point and shoot camera's. However i don't believe this makes them any more beautiful than the Candid War photo's i first looked at as we saw the effort of the photographer in an image of history which was not recognized as an important shot at that modern time.
