Individual and couple portraits are stationairy photos taken against a backdrop. Typically they are a two-light setup.
Candids are where you walk around and shoot individuals or groups of people having fun, enjoying the event or doing something interesting.
In my opinion, the two hardest things about taking good event candids are -- capturing the energy of an event and getting people to do something fun and interesting for the shot ... and ... shooting in a lot of different lighting conditions and being able to adjust your exposure settings quickly as the lighting conditions change.
Still interest? Let me know.
