Photojournalism: Shooting Candids People Are Harder Than They Look By Robert J. Courtemanche, CJE Galena Park HS, Texas Permission for use granted for any classroom teacher in a public or not-for profit / non-profit school system.

Shooting Candids 1: No Flash Flash draws attention to yourself. If you have to use flash, you really only get one picture.

Shooting Candids 2: Blend In They need to ignore the camera. So go ahead shoot the posed shot - then delete it later. Be friendly. Now that they don’t care anymore, get the shot you went for…

Shooting Candids 3: Look For Action Someone doing something is better than them doing absolutely nothing. Look for action or interaction between two people or two groups.

Shooting Candids 4: Shoot Fast Take lots of shots, most memory cards can hold photos at the highest quality. Shoot as many pictures as you can. Especially when you are still learning.

Shooting Candids 5: Move Use your feet. You can change angles, move around the room, walk closer and move back.

Shooting Candids 6: Use Your Eyes Don’t get stuck looking at the camera. Look around the room. Watch people and anticipate their actions. Look for anything visually interesting.

Shooting Candids 7: Get Lots of Variety Tell a story with wide, medium and close up shots. Get vertical and horizontal shots.

Shooting Candids 8: Looking Room Leave room for the subject to look and some room above their head

Shooting Candids 9: Turn off the noise Turn off all the noises on your camera and be quiet.

Shooting Candids 10: Shoot blind Sometimes called shooting from the hip. Just point your camera in the direction of the subject and shoot from waist level without looking.
