Candid shots are taken without the subject's prior knowledge and are often not looking at the camera or even aware that it is near. 3. Self portraits are where the subject is taking the picture themselves and it is a one person job.Self portriats can also indirectly capture a person's personality without directly capturing the person themselves. 4.
