Images straight from the camera are called Raw Images. It means no editing has been done to the image after copying from the camera.
Any modification done to the image after the image has been captured in the camera is called Post Processing. Image post processing refers to basic exposure correction, color correction, cropping, etc... After reviewing the raw images, if any modifications are needed, we will do some post processing. Not all images will need PP.
The Photographer will capture the event or function as it occurs in a traditional way.
Candid works in two ways. One is unplanned images or scenes that happens naturally in the event. The other one is planned candid, in which we direct the subject(s) to pose/act naturally. The main reason to have a separate photographer for candid is, because the lenses/lighting techniques used are different than the traditional photographer. And it allows the traditional photographer to concentrate on their duty. Changing lenses or lighting setup involves time and leads to missing the moment.
It can be done only when enough time is given to switch the lens and lighting equipements. Unless otherwise we mention, this wont be done.
The camera, lens, lighting style, equipments used are be different. In case of Traditional Video, camcorders will be used and lenses used will capture all details sharply and flat. In case of candid Video, Mirrorless cameras along with gimbal will be used for cinematic look. There will be good separation between subject and background in most scenes. Traditional video is full length, large file size and seen only by close family members. They cannot be easily shared with others. Candid Video is short and shows glimpses of the whole event in a crisp way. It can be shared easily with everyone as the file size is small.
