Moment-Driven Photojournalism Workshop: LONDON

I just returned from London, where I spoke at the lively and inspiring Nine Dots Gathering, and held my Moment-Driven Workshop: London!  I’m a bit jet lagged at the moment but I wanted to share some photos I made of my students during our workshop.  One of our group exercises was to approach strangers, not pose them, and photograph them while having a conversation.  Some students were bold, some terrified at the thought of talking to strangers and stepping outside their comfort zones.

I could not be prouder of my students, they absolutely accomplished the assignment with flying colors.  Some students even erased a long fear, which is truly empowering. What’s better than watching anyone overcome a fear?  Not much!

Here are some shots of my students photographing strangers, as well as some super quick Moment-Driven portraits I made of each student.

To my students, Maarten Devoldere, Lee Allison, Lina Orsino-Allen, Eve Dunlop, David Stubbs, Karl Tull, Matt Badenoch, Catherine Pound, Matthew Warrington, Rhea Skogen, Rafe Abrook, Jonny Harper: THANK YOU.  You truly inspire me, thank you so much for taking this journey together.

PHOTOGRAPHERS: INTERESTED?

Sign up for the Moment-Driven Workshop: LONDON 2017 May 2-3 2017 in Amersham, Buckinghamshire here!  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!

Chicago Pet Photographer

This is Part 2 of Ramona’s story from The See Hear Love Project™ — a Chicago-based initiative combining animal communication and fine-art photography to help foster animals be seen, heard, and adopted.
Each session begins with an on-camera communication reading followed by a professional portrait session, allowing foster animals to connect with potential adopters through emotion and storytelling.
Ramona’s message is part of a larger mission to bring visibility to animals waiting for homes and to highlight the life-saving power of fostering.

Adopt a friend like Ramona! https://www.chicagolandpigrescue.com/
Your best friend at home deserves to be celebrated.
Not just in your camera roll — but in fine art that lives on your wall.
That’s why I hire a professional trainer for every session.
Because your best friend deserves to feel safe, calm, and supported while we create something beautiful.
And because women celebrate everyone else in their lives…
Why not the one who waits for you at home?
For the women who love fiercely — and the dogs who love them right back. 🖤
⠀
That kind of connection deserves to be remembered as art.
From the shoot to the moment it comes together.

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.
