Candid: Waiting to Cross Michigan Avenue
I always feel like the world’s biggest creeper when I take candid photos of people (outside of the Fashion Olympics). Admit it, you know it’s weird. And slightly stalkerish. That’s why I like to approach and pose my subjects. However, sometimes I’m walking down the street and a candid photograph is literally staring me right in the face. Then I kind of shrug my shoulders and say “eh, go for it.”
I went up afterwards to introduce myself, because not doing so is even weirder than taking the photo in the first place! Her name is Katherine and she works across the street at Neiman Marcus. She was running a quick errand when I caught her out front of Tiffany & Co looking positively statuesque in her Marc Jacobs dress. Timing is everything, my friends.
dont waste you time!!!shoot!!!shoot!!!shoot!!!
That is indeed a lovely photo. It can be hard to come across that exact moment!
Beautiful photo, and candid shooting is not weird at all. Snap away!
I loooove that you can’t see her face. Adds intrigue!
It’s such a great shot, I thought it was posed at first glance. Right place, right time indeed!
but spiderman
I know what you mean. I often find myself not wanting to be a creeper, but really wanting the shot. Timing is everything! I love it.
