Hey guys. I wanted to make a guide on how I take candid photos of pregnant women. I am going to make it on a text document and I will post a link to it soon.

Chapter 1: Protocols

This is the list of Protocols that I go through when taking a candid.

Level 1: Rest Protocol - This is for when there are no pregnant women nearby that you see so you don’t have to worry.
Level 2: Scouting Protocol - This is for when you are scanning the area for pregnant women. Usually in public areas.
Level 3: Lookout Protocol - This is for when you have a target in sight and are waiting for the right time.
Level 4: Setup Protocol - This is basically setting yourself up with your camera.
Level 5: Lineup Protocol - This is for when you are moving in for a picture/video.
Level 6: Retreat Protocol - This is for whenever you get caught or are done with the picture/video. Get out of the area.
Level 7: Check Protocol - Just check the film to see if it’s good or not.

Chapter 2: Hot and Cold

If you don’t want to get caught, I suggest using these terms when describing your status.

Neutral: Doesn’t suspect a thing
Ice Cold: Everything is alright and you are clear to move in.
Cold: Everything is seemingly alright and are clear to move in.
Warm: Pregnant woman may become suspicious of what you are doing and occasionally looks at you every so often.
Hot: Woman is very suspicious and looks at you a lot.
Boiling: Nothing is alright. Woman catches you and asks you what you are doing.

Proceed and move in if status is:
Neutral
Ice Cold
Cold

Do not proceed and move in if status is:
Hot

Leave area immediately if status is:
Boiling

May very if status is:
Warm
