Here are just a few of my tips on how to shoot candids at an event. I have many more, but here are a few I have not seen mentioned on Youtube.

So much more goes into the making of a great photographer than what we typically categorize as technique. Photography should be a full body experience. The way we move goes beyond not being noticed. How we move also effects our readiness to capture pivotal shots. Today I am sharing just a few of my tips on how to capture amazing candids including: Moving deliberately and slowly, how to hold your camera in order to be more responsive, predicting smiles and making photographs in between sentences, listening for the pause in a sentence, and more.

Pay attention to how you move! The more relaxed you are the readier you are to capture a moment.
