What moments are better captured than those that are truly candid? Candid photographs are unposed, spontaneous snapshots that authentically capture the energy, emotion, or aftermath of a specific moment in time.

For this photo contest, we challenge you to capture these candid scenes, from a macro photography perspective.

Images do not have to be a true “macro” shot, but rather a zoomed-in view focusing on the smaller details of a unique moment. The crinkle of an eye in the midst of laughter, someone reaching out for a hand to hold, or shoes scattered on the floor after a party. The possibilities are endless—keep your camera close, and capture the candid details that weave together a larger story.
