The Chicago Moment-Driven Photojournalism Workshop April 5-6 and September 13-14

I’m so proud to announce my upcoming Moment-Driven Photojournalism Workshops with an awesome video by the wonderful Brandon Parigo of Parigo Studios Photography.  Brandon is a terrific photographer and filmmaker, and just a great guy to know!  I was fortunate to have him film my presentation at the Fearless Conference, he edited it together with an interview and my wedding photography, along with photographs I made during my Workshop last year.  Thank you, Brandon!

The Chicago Moment-Driven Photojournalism Workshop  (limited to only 10 students) April 5-6 and September 13-14 is designed to recharge your photography.  If you’re shooting the same thing each week, the same way … I can help.

We’ll take an in-depth look at your images and help you step outside your comfort zone, try new things, and produce stronger images that your clients will absolutely love. This isn’t a workshop with hundreds of attendees, this is learning environment where you will get plenty of one on one time with me and we will shoot together each day. You can see the workshop schedule here!

Visiting Chicago?  We have amazing specials on rooms in the same building as our Workshop on Chicago’s Michigan Ave., with killer views of the city, for as low as $70 a night!

Workshop attendees ALSO receive a 2-hour Mentor Session after the workshop, to make sure you’re still on the right path.  We can edit your website portfolio, your latest wedding or blog post, anything you like!  I love following up with my students after the Workshop to continue to help you see things differently… plus I miss your faces!

Want to call me and talk about where you are with your photography and what you would like to work on?  Request a FREE strategy session to see if you’re a good fit for the Moment-Driven Photojournalism Workshop!

Are you a Fearless Photographer?  You’ll receive 10% off!

Thanks so much and I hope to see you in Chicago!

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.

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. ❤️🐾
