Moment-Driven Workshop: London Street Photography

 

One of my favorite things to teach to my photography students is to Compose and Wait.  This simple exercise is something that we often take for granted during a rushed wedding day, it’s our own most under utilized tool.  Really, how often do we have time to wait?  Or, take the time necessary to build a photograph?

During my recent trip to London and Paris, where I taught my Moment-Driven Workshop, I gave myself the assignment to compose and wait and see what happened.  It was fun, I made mistakes and learned from them, and I grew to appreciate this exercise even more, and here is my street photography from my trip.

I also want to thank everyone who made it possible to pull off a London photography workshop.  Thank you!!

London photojournalism workshop by Candice Cusic

If you’re shooting the same old things each week in the same old way… I can help.

This two-day shooting workshop will refocus your eye, show you new ways to see and help you step outside your comfort zone.

Ever hesitate to get the camera close?  We will work on this together.  Let’s shoot people who aren’t paying you.  BOOM– now you have freedom to shoot with your own vision, not what clients expect of you.  Let’s shake up your usual routine and try something new!

Internationally award-winning photojournalist Candice C. Cusic will show you her thought process before hitting the shutter, how to capture moments during portrait sessions, how to feel comfortable documenting strangers and how to anticipate and capture moments you will love.

Check out our beautiful location!

I created The See Hear Love Project to help animals like Blanca.
⠀
Painfully shy. Dumped on a road before the rain came. Nervous around strangers. Ears down. Tail tucked.
⠀
For those new to the project, these are not carefree, well-adjusted animals. Many have experienced neglect, abandonment, fear, or loss.
⠀
Sometimes we only get one photograph when they truly relax.
⠀
Thankfully, we only need one.
⠀
Please visit my page to see Blanca's full story.
⠀
Special thanks to @sayvanimalorg for bringing Blanca to The See Hear Love Project.
⠀
"All I want
⠀
is to feel loved and safe."

One of the best things about photographing Ramona is watching everyone react to a pig in the building.

People stopped.

They smiled.

They took selfies.

One gentleman asked if I could wait so he could FaceTime his girlfriend because she loves pigs.

The hardest thing about photographing a pig is that pigs don't stop moving.

Ever.

This portrait worked because Ramona kept walking in circles, allowing us to see her body and face at the same time.

Not shown: Ramona chewed up the paper backdrop on set. Her pig squeal echoed through the studio—loud, proud, and impossible to ignore, just like Ramona herself.

"Thank you

for saving my life."

— Ramona

The See Hear Love Project combines professional photography and animal communication. Each portrait is paired with one of the most powerful messages the animal shared during their communication session.

Seen. Heard. Loved.

Some dogs don’t just fit into a family — they become part of its heartbeat.

Eddie was pure joy to photograph with his two favorite people. The connection between them was effortless, loving, and completely real.
⠀
These are the moments worth remembering.
Meet Zeno.

After being surrendered by his owner, Zeno has spent more than a year waiting at Red Door Animal Shelter for someone to choose him.

And somehow, after all this time, he’s still soft. Still trusting. Still hopeful.

Cats like Zeno don’t need perfection. They just need someone willing to see them.
