Street Photography in Ubeda, Spain

When was the last time you screamed at the top of your lungs?  Or ran through mist-covered cobblestones in the center of town?  I just spent two weeks in Spain, surrounded by olive trees, glorious mountains and, of course, my absolute favorite.  Photographers!

I’m so honored to teach at the Foundation Workshop Europe, an incredible photojournalism workshop.  We gathered in the intimate town of Ubeda, Spain, for a week of shooting, instruction, laughs and love.  And vodka tonics served in small punchbowls.  And fresh olives, bread and olive oil at every meal.  I can still taste them.  🙂

Here are some photographs from my trip, including dancing in the mist with my fellow photographers, some street photography and, my personal favorite, shouting photographs.  This is one of my new favorite things to photograph… shouting seems like such a small thing until you actually do it and let go.  Then it’s incredible.

Thanks so much to these wonderful people, I am truly lucky to have you in my life.  🙂

 

PHOTOGRAPHERS:

I couldn’t be more excited to return to London this May 2-3!  My Moment-Driven Workshop: LONDON  is a two-day shooting workshop is designed to help you step outside your comfort zone. You will photograph strangers, learn how to capture moments without posing, and work on what is holding you back as a photographer.  You CAN capture authentic, emotionally storytelling images without posing or direction, and no longer fear getting the camera where it needs to be.  Book before March 18 for a 50 pound discount!

I also have TWO spaces available for my Moment-Driven Workshop: CHICAGO April 4-5.   Tired of posing your couples?  You don’t have to!  Here’s what’s involved in the Moment-Driven Workshop.

YOU’LL LEARN

how to make stronger images, how to capture moments during a portrait session, and how to overcome any anxiety you may experience in documenting and interacting with strangers

YOU’LL RECEIVE

an opportunity to step outside your comfort zone, learn how to document moments during portrait sessions and join a private Facebook group of moment-driven alumni for future support!

YOU’LL PARTICIPATE

in shooting assignments in downtown Chicago documenting strangers. This is not a “stand around, watching Candice photograph models” session. This is a hands-on workshop – the best way to learn something is to do it yourself!

I’m also thrilled to introduce my Shoot With Your Heart Workshop: CHICAGO on April 6.  This 1-day Street Photography and Intuition Workshop for Photographers will focus on using our intuition for not only nailing the shot but propelling our business.

-Learn how to use your intuition to capture powerful moments

-Shoot photos on the streets of Chicago to practice your new skills

-Stop worrying about posing your subjects and compose shots with feeling

-Learn my favorite techniques to use manifestation to reach your goals

    Meet Oliver the Corgi! 🐾
Full of personality and completely irresistible, this handsome guy brought so much joy to the studio. Moments like these are why I love what I do—capturing the bond you share with your pets and creating artwork you’ll treasure for years to come. 💛

    Meet Charlie, the semi-feral cat from @sayvanimals 🐾

Thank you to Sayv Animals and foster mom Carol for everything you do to help this sweet boy—and so many others—find safety, love, and a second chance.

Every animal deserves to be Seen. Heard. Loved.™ 💙

    Seen. Heard. Loved.

Candice C. Cusic has launched a powerful new project, The See Hear Love Project™, to spotlight the rising number of animals in Chicago shelters. In collaboration with local rescue groups, she’s giving a voice to animals who deserve a second chance and a loving home.

This one-of-a-kind initiative combines the art of animal communication with Cusic’s renowned photography to help each animal be seen, heard, and ultimately adopted. Follow along to meet them and discover their stories.

Since the filming of this video, Ramona has officially become a proud foster fail—aka ADOPTED! She now spends her days living her best life with her mom April, her dad, and five pig siblings, soaking up all the love, snacks, and belly rubs she could ever dream of. 🐷❤️

    SEEN. HEARD. LOVED.
Last year, 3,380 dogs and cats were euthanized in Chicago.
During his animal communication session, Tater shared something quietly heartbreaking:
“Sometimes I worry people won’t like me. I worry if I’m good enough.”
His foster mom couldn’t hold back tears — because he is good enough. Every dog waiting for a home is.
October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, and Chicago’s shelters are beyond capacity.
The See Hear Love Project™ unites animal communication and fine-art photography to give foster animals a voice — so they can finally be seen, heard, and adopted.

Every foster animal has something to say.
Maggie’s animal communication session inspired the beginning of The See Hear Love Project™—and many more voices will follow.

    Dama may be in a wheelchair, but her spirit is unstoppable.

Through The See Hear Love Project™, her voice and her story are shared—so she can be truly seen, heard, and adopted. 

Thank you @sayvanimals for giving her the chance she deserves.  Thank you @salvageone for welcoming us to photograph Dama in your beautiful space. She was a little nervous Nelly that day, so we finished her session in the studio. We’re so grateful for your support in helping animals like Dama be seen, heard, and adopted. ❤️🐾

    This is Nala the cat. 🐾
Her reading wasn’t about adoption — it was about understanding.
Animal communication reveals what our pets are truly feeling.
Would you want to know what your cat is thinking?
    Something extraordinary is beginning.
⠀
The See Hear Love Project™ gives foster animals more than a portrait—it gives them a voice. Through animal communication and photography, their stories will finally be shared with the world.

Follow along as we change lives, one portrait at a time.
