Free Lecture: The Art and Beauty of Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) Photography

In her presentation “The Art and Beauty of Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) Photography,” Stephanie shares her passion for ICM and talks about her journey from traditional landscape photography to focusing primarily on ICM photography. Stephanie has a deep love and joy for the individually expressive nature of ICM and encourages photographers to ‘see things differently’ through the lens of their cameras, as well as through the lens of their inner creative selves.

The art and beauty of ICM photography is that, by seeing things differently, we can connect with the ordinary, and even the mundane, to transform how we interact with our surroundings…to explore, experiment, and play with the camera in exciting new ways, resulting in images that are unique to each individual photographer.

In this talk, Stephanie covers some basic ICM principles and techniques, along with sample images to show the effects of various camera movements and the camera settings for each. Additionally, several examples showing scenes before and after using ICM will be shared, and a short fieldwork video will show some of the camera movements Stephanie uses in different location settings.

Stephanie also touches on more advanced ICM techniques in this presentation, such as multiple exposure ICMs. She also presents a section on mobile ICMs for the growing trend towards creating with mobile devices.

Bio

Stephanie is a self-taught creative photographer primarily focused on Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) and creative photography techniques as a form of artistic expression. She has honed her skill and evolved her artistry by getting out to ‘do the work’ as often as possible. She brings an inter-connected, creative, and intuitive approach to her photography-as-art to visually express the essence of light, color, form, line, texture, mood, and emotion through the various in-camera creative techniques of ICM.

Stephanie has a Bachelor of Arts degree and graduate work in English Literature and has always had a very strong emotional connection to art in all its various forms. She has a deep passion for creating uniquely artistic images by working with camera movement to reveal the essence of how any given scene feels for her at the moment, and as a creative photographer, she is always seeking to push the boundaries of her own artistry, as well as to encourage and inspire others to do the same by seeing things differently through the artistic lens of ICM, ME ICM, and creative photography techniques.

Stephanie is the Founder, Creator, and Publisher of ICM Photography Magazine (ICMPhotoMag), a first-of-its-kind e-magazine dedicated solely to featuring ICM photography. Stephanie also leads on-location ICM workshops in the US and the UK in collaboration with various creative photographers, and, as an instructor for Santa Fe Workshops, she leads ICM workshops online and on-location for SFW, as well. She collaborates with other online learning communities and camera clubs to share her passion, techniques, and knowledge of ICM. She is also an ICM/creative photography mentor and a co-founder of the ICMPhotoMag Network continuous learning online community.
