Etymology
The word 'candid' comes from the Latin word 'candidus', which means 'white' or 'pure'. Originally used to describe someone who is free from bias or prejudice, it evolved to mean someone who is honest and straightforward. The use of 'candid' in photography dates back to the mid-19th century, referring to unposed and natural images.
