The recording of the presentation from Stephanie Johnson titled “The Art & Beauty of ICM Photography” given to the Focus Camera Club on September 11, 2024.
Program Description
Stephanie shares her passion for ICM, Multiple Exposure, and Creative Photography techniques and talks about her journey from traditional landscape photographer to focusing on a more creative approach with her 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.
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 covers more advanced ICM techniques in this presentation, such as multiple exposure ICMs, as well. She also presents a section on mobile ICMs for the growing trend towards creating with mobile devices.
