Worth a thousand words

They say a picture’s worth a thousand words and I agree.

One of my most favorite pictures are the ones that were taken candidly. For me, they say more about the subjects in the photos rather than those where they are posed.

Candid shots are genuine and honest. If captured nicely, they show you the essence of the moment and what’s truly going on in the scene.

People tend to be more self conscious when asked to stay still and pose for the camera. They project a facade that they want the world to see. Sometimes it may be the true them, but oftentimes it’s not.

Pictures are worth a thousand words but they’re worth even more when the shot is candid.
