Some photographers think all they need is a decent digital camera, a pro photo sharing or micro stock online gallery and some business cards to pass out. Yet others seem to think you need a degree in photography, $25,000 worth of photography equipment, a fancy photography studio, and a comfortable savings in the bank to make it work.

Your talent, hard work and relentless determination, combined with people skills, and customer service are important keys to success. But you can’t always do everything yourself, and if artists have a weak spot generally it’s the business side of the studio.

Each method has its own place and time in which it is most appropriate, and the information below will provide you with the main differences between the two styles.

Positioning and Appearance

One of the main differences between candid photography and photographic portraits is in the way they are positioned, and in the way that they appear. Candid photographs are taken on the go when life is happening, and present pictures of an event as it was. Professional photographic portraits however, are staged using sets, props, and a predetermined position. These photographs capture an image and preserve it in the way that it was positioned to look.
