The Art and Beauty of Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) Photography
Stephanie Johnson is an ICM and Creative Photographer, and in her presentation “The Art and Beauty of Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) Photography” she shares her ICM work and talks about her journey from traditional landscape photographer to focusing primarily on ICM photography. Stephanie has a deep love, joy, and passion 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.
ICM photography allows photographers to express their creativity uniquely through the making of images that reveal it is not always necessary to travel to all the iconic grand-scale landscapes in order to create beautifully artistic work with the camera. 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 of the 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, as well as a short field work video to show some of the camera movements Stephanie uses in different location settings. Stephanie also touches on some more advanced ICM techniques in this presentation, as well.
