The Importance of Candid Photographs

Photography is all about capturing a moment, and candid photographs are the epitome of this sentiment. Candid photographs are those that are taken spontaneously, capturing people and their true emotions in their natural habitat. Candid Photographs are all about giving your client’s space to simply BE and breathe and exist as one family unit. It’s about gentle guidance and direction as a photographer- little prompts like, “why don’t your run and tickle Daddy?” , “let’s play red light and green light together!” , “Who wants to create a human train or have a dance party?”.

These photographs are not staged or forced, which makes them the most genuine representation of a moment. When people forget about the camera their true emotions, thoughts, and behaviours come to the surface. This makes candid photographs so important because they capture people for who they are, rather than who they want to be seen as.

Candid photographs can freeze a moment in time, creating a timeless record that will be treasured for generations to come. They tell a story of the moment, capturing the emotions of people, their reaction to the events around them, and the environment in which they are present. They capture giggles that you can almost hear by looking at the photograph. They capture soft smiles from Mama as she watches her little one explore the beach and dig in the sand.

Candid photographs depict the vibrant, unexpected, and sometimes awkward moments that we experience every day as people and I love it, I wouldn’t photography any other way!
