Personable Portraiture Candid Pictures Boy and Balloons by Nam Prasad Satsangi A good candid portrait should tell a story, the boy looking at the balloons or the lady enjoying the falling water each contain the elements of the story, it is of course the viewers imagination that interprets the tale based on their own experience. For me I see the boy looking into the balloon and wondering what is contained within. Taking A Break by Nam Prasad Satsangi The last image on this page is also by Nam, another story, this time of peaceful contemplation. The distant gaze of the lady her relaxed pose and the garden setting all add to the effect of tranquillity. Each of these four images also applies the rule of thirds to good effect. Refreshment by Nam Prasad Satsangi The lady is hot and the water is cool and refreshing. The splashing of the water shows the vitality that is contained with each drop. The forth image of the men resting with the camel tell a different story again, here we see traders resting after a long trek through the desert. A trek that will soon start again under the blistering heat of the sun, so a rest in the shade is most welcome. Your interpretation of the story will probably be different, but then you are different. As it is in life, so it is in photography.

There are pictures where the story being told is very specific. In these cases the imagination can not give either the true or the full story so an accompanying text is used to fill in the spaces. Def Leppard - Birmingham NEC 12/12/15 By Alan Griffiths Candid portraiture can present itself at any time and any place. Here the candid is during a concert. We easily assume that candid portraits are in colour, but it is always worth exploring the greyscale elements of such images. The man in the seat was taken in London, while this young lady was photographed in a street café in Interlaken. Some ‘candid’ images are simply staged, but it relies on the subject being able to ignore the camera and still look natural. Most candid photography come into its own when the subject has no idea that they are having their picture taken. You can only do this is a public place or a family gathering. Care must be taken to use the pictures in a respectful manner. Gordon Website = photosociety.net Page 45 email = magazine@photosociety.net
