About the Webinar
Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) is a hot topic in the realms of creative photography, and it can be used to push the boundaries of artistic expression in ways that are unique to each individual. By pushing the boundaries of her creativity through ICM, Stephanie has expanded her own artistic vision and photographic expression resulting in very magical and painterly images that reveal the essence of any given scene. Stephanie fully immerses herself in the deliberate application and creative flow of ICM, using a variety of in-camera techniques, to craft beautifully artistic images. With a mantra of “Do the Work,” Stephanie has prolifically created with her camera to develop her artistry. and she is a passionate advocate for encouraging others to feel the magic of those special moments that come from doing the work, as well.

In this talk, Stephanie covers some of the basic ICM principles and techniques, as well as the more advanced ICM technique of multiple exposure ICM in this presentation. She also presents a section on mobile ICMs for the growing trend towards creating with mobile devices (both Android and iPhone).

The possibilities and potentialities of ICM are limitless, and this form of photographic expression is uniquely positioned to enable each individual the opportunity to tune into the essence of the moment, to reimagine the world through the lenses of Abstraction and Impressionism, and to see things differently. In this way, ICM enables us to connect more deeply to both the inner and outer landscapes of our lives.
