If one turns out Real well, And i would want to have the option of selling the print later, or if they catch me after i took the shot. . I would just go up and talk to them. Start with a compliment "you have such character" or "you looked so peacefull" or whatever just NOT the truth "you just looked like the absolute optimamy of being down on your luck and a troubled soul and i was like, MAN! now THERE's a ribbon!"
you can print out release waivers off the internet and just have them in your pocket. I also get peoples email and send them a copy. |

It appears that the "sell" word and "unethical" have gotten picked up from my earlier post.
First - I've sold one photo in my entire life. Wish it were more, but certainly isn't the reason I carry a camera around.
Second - I have a hard time seeing where it's the "right" thing to do (taking candids) in the first place. It's like hunting people with a camera. As for selling any candid pics I guess it's ok if you have a release but certainly not without.
I enjoy watching people sometimes too - at the shopping center, at a park, etc... People do funny things. I'm sure that I'm a good laugh for others once in a while, especially when I've got my 3 year old with me. I'm just not into taking pictures of other people when I have no idea who they are. If you're into it...have at it. After all, it is your opinion. Just don't let me catch you taking pics of me or my family! ;^)

I have a question. What good is a candid? Why take them? The focus in this thread appears to be getting candids of people other than family. What can you do with these pics? I mean it wouldn't be ethical to sell them or use them in any way other than in your own home - yes/no? |
why do you think that selling or using candid pics is unethical? it's fun, and moreover, you make candid shots only if the person you are shooting seems very interesting, in that case very few people dislike your behaviour. and at last you are a photographer, not a dentist!
and it's not an obligatory to sell this photos. for example i use them for my portfolio - it just shows what you can... |

[quote=DrewLong] I love capturing a moment. no setup, they aren't posing or acting any different because of your presense. There's something very pure about it. It's people and life in there true form in one moment frozen forever. you are who you are when noone is looking.
I think you put it best, that is exactly how I see it....

A technique I have used a few times for candid shots is to capture someone while they are posing for another photographer. Between shots the subject sometimes relaxs and you can catch a natural looking picture. That's how I got this one. Comments and criticism appreciated.

This would depend on the lens mounted, mainly.
