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.

-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

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

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

    Avalanche wasn't interested in being the center of attention.

He just wanted to be close.

    Dama arrived at the studio in a wheelchair.
⠀
That was the first thing I noticed.
⠀
It was also the least interesting thing about her.
⠀
What I remember is her determination.
⠀
Her curiosity.
⠀
Her joy.

    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.

⠀
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.
