Candid Shots are those which are made without the knowledge of the subject whereas Posed Shots have planned setting and subject knows that photo is being taken.
Advantages of candid shots are that they usually produce natural alive picture as people do not expect they are being captured. On the other hand, it can show person in awkward pose and spoil the shot.
Posed shots usually seem plastic.
