I really enjoy photos of people that are taken when they don't realise they are being photographed. It sounds a bit voyueristic, but I promise it's not. I like to capture the ease, the innocence, the honesty of the moment. To capture the moment for the moment and not a posed moment with a plastered on smile, but a real moment.
So far I've mostly done these of people I know, and mostly from behind so they don't know I'm doing it and so they don't jump into the automatic pose or completely jump out of the shot.
I wish I was brave enough to take photos of strangers where it might be obvious that I'm doing it. So far I've discovered that the beach is a great place to take photos of people without them knowing that I'm photographing them, friends and strangers alike. I plan to broaden my horizons and my shoulders in order to gain more shots and opportunities for shots.
And I also like these photos in black & white, or some variation. Somehow it brings another layer of innoncence and calm to the photo that I like.
Here are a few from my collection:
