A candid photograph is a photograph captured mostly in motion,
without creating a posed appearance. This is achieved by avoiding prior
preparation of the subject and by either surprising the subject or by
not distracting the subject during the process of taking photos. Thus,
the candid character of a photo is unrelated to the subject's knowledge
about or consent to the fact that photos are being taken, and unrelated
to the subject's permission for subsequent usage such as distribution.
The crucial factor is the actual absence of posing. If the subject is
absolutely unaware of being photographed and does not even expect it,
then such photography is secret photography which is a special case of candid photography.
