Moment-Driven Photojournalism Workshop by Candice Cusic

I am so pleased to bring my Moment-Driven Photojournalism Workshop to downtown Chicago this July 22 and 23!

After speaking at the Fearless Conference in Romania this year, I held several Master Classes and this workshop is a more detailed experience of what I taught in Bucharest.

My Chicago workshop involves 2 days, no egos, and plenty of one-on-one attention. We will edit your website together, and you’ll leave with a new portfolio with your strongest work represented. You will step outside our comfort zone and document strangers, not models, in downtown Chicago and learn some great tips on how to capture moments within portrait sessions.

If you’d like more information, please click here: http://momentdrivenworkshop.com

I’ll also be speaking at the Fearless Conference in Arizona this November, with plans for future workshops in the works!

Want me to come to your town? Send me an email to Candice@CusicPhoto.com!

Chicago Pet Photographer

Just featured on On The Block with Alicia Sitz! 🎙️

We talked about what it really means to see, hear, and love your pet—and why they deserve more than just a photo.

I’m Candice C. Cusic—Chicago’s top pet and family photographer and an animal communicator. I capture real emotion and turn it into artwork you’ll love coming home to.

Riley isn’t just part of the family—he’s part of the home.
His parents hired me to create portraits that would celebrate his spirit and live on their walls, forever.
📸 Because when a dog means this much, they deserve more than a phone pic.
They deserve to be seen, remembered, and cherished—every single day.
