In case you haven’t heard, selfies are out…candids are in.
In our ever-evolving quest to put our best photographic foot forward (and only our best photographic foot forward), a tutorial has emerged on everyone’s favorite trend setting social, TikTok. While selfies still have their place, the candid is where it’s at for the summer of 2025. It’s ironic, in the truest sense of the word, as a candid is defined as an informal photograph, taken without the subject’s knowledge, designed to capture a natural moment in time. So, of course we’ll show you how to fake that! Insert eye roll emoji here.
Anyway, the process of looking spontaneous is actually quite simple to achieve, per the content creators at TikTok. Channel your inner equine and gallop toward the camera, laughing and smiling and “naturally” allowing the momentum of your gate to dictate your movements. Then do some screen grabbin’.
