Candids: Being Unobtrusive

You may want to make photographs of people going about their business—vendors in a market, a crowd at a sports event, the line at a theater. You don't want them to appear aware of the camera. Many times people will see you, then ignore you because they have to concentrate on what they are doing. You want the viewers of the image to feel that they are getting an unguarded, fly-on-the-wall glimpse into the scene.

Alert your perspective

Most portraits are taken with the camera at (or around) the eye level of the subject. While this is good common sense – completely changing the angle that you shoot from can give your portrait a real WOW factor.

I like this photo because it has your subject off to the side and you can see that theres nature behind him. You can see that the ground is red and it goes on into the forest. You can see that there is a lot behind him. 

I like this photo because there is a lot of green. I also like this because it's a picture of a photographer and he's taking a picture of something but you can't see it in the photo, because of that this picture seems mysterious. 

I like this photo because the man is part of the background. His shirt shows the division of the ocean and the sky. He also blends in with the ocean and the sky. I chose this picture because it was very eye catching to me, I don't see a lot of pictures like this. 

I like this photo because you can see in the photographers face that there is something not in the photo catching her eye. I can think that she wants to take a picture of it because she looks interested. I chose this photo because it too was mysterious because something not in the photo is catching her eye. 

I like this photo because it's a picture of Marilyn Monroe. She has a prop and that is a piece of paper that she's reading and I chose this photo because something caught her eye so it's mysterious. 

I like this photo because it's a picture of Katy Perry and I chose this picture because something caught her eye so its a mysterious photo.
