ICM Photography

Discover new possibilities with “intentional camera movement”

ICM (Intentional camera movement) is a creative and experimental approach to capturing images. Unlike traditional photography, where the goal is often to achieve sharpness and clarity, ICM embraces blur and abstraction to convey mood, emotion, and movement.

In ICM photography, we intentionally move the camera during the exposure to create unique and artistic effects. By playing with the camera's settings, movement, and composition, we can produce images that are visually dynamic and full of energy.

Throughout this hands-on workshop, you’ll discover the fundamentals of ICM photography, make your own ICM photos, while learning techniques for achieving different effects, selecting appropriate subjects, and refining our artistic vision. Whether you're brand new to photography or looking to expand your creative horizons, ICM offers a fun and exciting way to express yourself through images.
