ICM Photography
Waves by Sue Wadman
“Photography is still a very new medium and everything must be tried and dared. Photography’s not a sport. It has no rules. It’s the result that counts now matter how it is achieved”
Beach By Bridgett Codrington
Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) is a way of working with long exposures to create an image. Like the great Impressionists ICM is sometimes misunderstood but is a new and growing form of photography.
Some of the most interesting photographers using ICM are
Erik Malm - merging still and moving elements
Valda Bailey - using both ICM and double exposure
Linda Bembrige - beautiful images that have a modern art feel
Shona Perkins - Inspired by the Scottish landscape
Andrew S Gray - who had an old master style of Turner
Influences
French impressionists
Turner
Francis Bacon
