Images volées

French to English Art/Literary Photography/Imaging (& Graphic Arts) Video
Une première vidéo consistant à suivre les femmes palestiniennes, montrant leurs mouvements, leurs regards, leurs gestes, avec des "images volées", mais aussi des images consenties de leur existence.
I can't say "stolen images", doesn't sound very English to me...Thank You! :-)

surreptitious footage

Assuming this is video movies and not video stills!

"Clandestine" might work too, though to my mind it would apply more to secret filming against the will of political masters, etc.

French term (edited): "images volées"

"sneaked images"

To keep the same sort of register, you could do worse than this.

They might indeed be from a hidden camera, but I don't think this is necessarily implied — they may simply be 'snatched' candidly, without specific permission for each shot; typical 'fly-on-the-wall' stuff...
Peer comment(s):

neutral muitoprazer (X) : this implies furtiveness and without permission-nothing to suggest this
5 mins
But there IS! Read the context more carefully — it expressly contrasts them with 'images consenties'

furtive pictures

'volées' in the sense of 'à la dérobée'

-->

'furtive pictures' in the sense of 'pictures taken surrepticiously'
Peer comment(s):

neutral Tony M : I like the idea, but fear that it might imply an element of malevolence that is (hopefully) not intended?
20 mins
Tks. The source text sets these pictures against "des images consenties de leur existence", so there is already some measurement of illictness implied.

spur of the moment shots

"images volées" are unplanned

"Images volées" (avec guillements!) se réfère à des photos prises sans préparation, à l'improviste et qui sont caractérisées par une grande fraîcheur. Il ne s'agit pas nécessairement de portraits, une photo de rue peut très bien être une "image volée" (voir le célèbre baiser de Robert Doisneau). Les guillements servent à faire la distinction avec les images vraiment volées (à d'autres photographes, par exemple) .

clandestine pictures or shots

it's a video so some of the filming was done with the consent of those concerned, other parts were taken clandestinely

in the end I think we are all being too clever by half. I think we would say, more naturally, that the video show Palestine women going about their daily lives ( paraphrase), some of the shots being taken with their consent, others without their knowledge.
You should avoid word for word translations
