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.
