Candids

I’m getting better at taking candids of people on the street. The images I took today aren’t my best work, but I have to say I enjoy it most when I can get shots of people just going about their day.

I find I strike the right balance between getting the kind of people shots I like to get and preserving the anonymity that I would like to have myself if I were the subject by placing people in the context of their surroundings. Besides, I’ve never been an in-your-face kind of street photographer. Especially when I use my old Nikkor lenses adapted for my Canon EOS M50 mirrorless camera, doing so achieves a certain softness that accomplishes a pleasing aesthetic while also slightly blurring out people’s faces, all the more contributing to anonymizing their identity.
