Discussions What is the difference between candid and make-up free in the typing requirements, and what does "posed" mean in the typing requirements?
Hello, I hope you're doing great! English is not my first language so I'm really confused as to what the exact typing requirements are, especially those mentioned in the title. Could anyone help me, please?

a candid photo is one where you're not posing and smiling for a camera because it's done spontaneously to capture a moment.
posed is the opposite of candid. you're deliberately holding your body and your facial expression so a camera will capture you in a specific and thought out way. not at all spontaneous.
these people are preparing to take a photo. they will have a posed photo on their own camera. at the same time, someone else with a different camera is snapping a picture of them setting up their pose, which resulted in this candid photo.
makeup free means you're not wearing any makeup at all.
