Chicago and London Photojournalism Workshops: The Moment-Driven Workshop

Moment-Driven Photojournalism Workshop Chicago and London

NineDots Gathering 2016 from Thompson Granger Films on Vimeo.

I am so happy to see this video, made by the very talented Thompson Granger Films, of myself and fellow speakers at the Nine Dots Gathering in London last November.  When they asked me to speak, I had no idea how I would fall absolutely in love with London, the very special folks who put this experience together and the incredibly talented photographers who attend it every year.  It really is an honor to have this job, to educate others and to follow my own passion.  To quote myself in this video, find what gets you out of bed in the morning… and channel it into your photography.  Sometimes life itself gets in the way of our personal and professional growth, and photography can take a back seat when we aren’t getting paid, but that’s the challenge.  Take your camera to the grocery store.  Pack your camera along with your wallet.  Go out and find good light, then wait for the moment.  It’ll come, and you’ll be happy you took the time to discover it.

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 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 Intuition Workshop for Photographers will focus on using our intuition for not only nailing the shot but propelling our business.

-Create the 2017 vision for your business

-Learn how to use your intuition to capture powerful moments

-Shoot photos on the streets of Chicago to practice your new skills
-Meet like-minded photographers

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

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

-Build your own happiness routine to stay resilient in the face of setbacks

    During their animal communication reading, Sam and Frodo thanked their foster, Hilary, for saving their life. They also shared something about their past and their hope for the future: no more cages.

This video is part of The See Hear Love Project — the only project that combines animal communication with fine-art photography to help adoptable animals be truly seen and heard.

These bonded bunnies are ready for a safe, loving home where they can stay together.

Sam and Frodo are available for adoption through @onetailatatime.

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. 🐷❤️
