Workshop
Moment Driven Workshop
If you’re shooting the same thing each week in the same way… I can help. This one-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.
