Photo challenge :: Portrait or candid?
When it comes to pictures of people, do you have a preference over posed portraits versus natural candids where the subject is unaware of the camera? Choose your favourite for the next photo challenge.
Your challenge is to take and post a photograph of a person – either a posed portrait or a candid shot. Time to coerce those nearest to you into smiling for the camera… or being sneaky and not warning them at all!
 |
Post your image on Flickr, on your blog or in another online photo gallery. Leave a link to it in the comments on this post to be entered. One winner will be randomly chosen to win the Scrapbook Inspirations Summer Ideas Book with a little bonus gift from me too. Please see this post for all the deadlines and details about this weekend. So… are you going to put on a trench coat and go under-cover with your camera? Or do you have a willing subject ready to get ready for a close-up? |

I had a day at Warwick Castle yesterday, so just catching up and posting the photo challenges. Hopefully, by the time I get through they will be in some logical order. Two portraits here.

I ended up with one very excited subject and one not so much, which pretty much sums them up today.

I much prefer candid – but my subjects are pretty wise to me now, so they are rare. Here’s one from the weekend:
No the deckchair hasn’t collapsed – the photo will be scrapped at an angle!

I take candid or at least spur of the moment shots most of the time, only use posed ones when they are needed, although my son loves posing. This is a shot of my husband playing around with his two pairs of specs.

my sister is tired of posing for me so I caught this one while she was relaxing yesterday! you can see it in this set.
16 August 2010, 17:44
I like both styles, but went for a portrait, as I love the variety of faces my daughter pulls when she sees the camera pointing at her! You can see it here (though you have to scroll down a bit) xx

I took a pic of my daughter helping me with the photo challenges. I think santa might need to bring a digi camera to a special 3 year old this year!

My photo of a person is semi posed. They both ran ahead & climbed up to watch the horses. I just arranged me in this position to take the shot Find it here

Really, I land somewhere in between. I love cheerful group shots but I think that posed doesn’t have to mean unnatural. Especially if the people are relaxed and mucking about! However, as I’m not very good at candid I thought I’d get in a bit of practice with this photo, the seventh in the post.

trying to get dd to look straight on for a pic, but got this candid instead.

Here is my entry: https://www.me.com/gallery/#100096 Just look for “portrait or candid?”
16 August 2010, 23:21
Mine’s of my husband. He has little patience with my photography. Probably because I’m not very good and I take 10 photos to get one good shot! http://peaceinbetween.blogspot.com/2010/08/sundays-photo-challenge.html
