Resources for Intermediate's Photo Assignment: Candid (The Everyday)

C a n d i d (The Everyday)

Candid shots: unposed, informal, uncontrived, impromptu, natural. Drawing from the tradition of street photography (a type of documentary photography that features subjects in candid situations within public places such as streets) you will look to explore the odd, funny, bizarre, righteous, poignant, dynamic, uncanny, surreal, absurd, and tragic-to name a few-through your lens, drawing from the everyday.
