Embracing the Blur - the world of ICM Photography | Westend

A workshop of photographic discovery, creating unique visual art with ICM (intentional camera movement)

We spend a lot of time learning how to NOT move the camera when taking pictures; to make sure they are pin sharp and strongly focused. ICM - teaches us to do the complete opposite!

Typically recorded as a blur of light and texture across the frame ICM gives such a visionary freedom. The blur might completely obliterate all detail, or it may simply blur a portion of the frame. The technique can provide you with a wonderful, creative, and unexpected outcome.

And, its ADDICTIVE!

In this exciting hands-on session we will settle into a strong couple of hours of mindful ICM photography and you will :

• produce artistic and creative images with the very deliberate application of moving the camera.
• walk around, discover and shoot, various colours and textures and compositions that can be used successfully with an ICM technique.
• learn zooming and panning techniques and use various settings to create intriguing and creative images.
• learn how different movements and shutter speeds work.
• Be prepared to take a lot of images, and, to delete a lot of images - learning what works and what doesn't!

We will also throw in a 30 minute challenge to have fun with what we have learned, ensuring you have grasped the skills so you can head home armed with innovative ideas to continue building your ICM library.

Practice! Experiment, make mistakes and wonder! Become inspired by what you see and explore the excitement in creating such unique imagery!

Are you ready to explore and become obsessed with this style too!?
