Candid Photography.

Here, are a collection of photos I have taken of everyday life situations.
Throughout doing this, I have come to realise that it does indeed feel quite strange taking photos of people you don't know, yet it does help to observe everyday life from a different perspective and maybe change you're views of how you felt before.
Some of the shots I have took, have turned out with different meanings of life, the way we perceive it could be different to the way that these people actually feel.

Here, as you can see two elderly women are sitting down, talking about what looks like could be serious, their facial expressions intrigue one as to find out what it could be they're saying...
I have took this in black and white, to show the real essence of age and how times change (their clothes, e.g.)


This was just a few minutes later- the two previous women get up, and carry on doing what it was they were doing, and along come another two people.
This time, these people do not know each other, and they're sat on the opposite side of the pole on different benches, but what intrigues me is the fact they're doing exactly the same thing- Looking for something...


It is only at this point, we realize they were looking for their cigarettes and lighter.
Even though no rules have been followed to capture this picture, the main focus of two people who don't know each other, doing exactly the same thing is still there.
