Is it “candid” if they are posing and looking at the camera?
I was about to ask the same thing – how are these “Candid”?
Maybe not candid. But great just the same
Yeah, someone needs to look up the word candid. Any idea what #6 is? looks like a set of some sort.
From the OED: candid, adj. c. Of a photograph or photography: unposed, informal.
Yeah, these aren’t candid at all.
Well, as these are shots that obviously didn’t make the final cut, then that would make them candid, right? They are unposed and informal simply due to them not being the best shots taken during a photo shoot (the b roll). The Jackson boys photo is so telling. Just a bunch of very tired, jaded looking young guys. A great photo.
