ICM Workshop

with Laura Twining

Want to create abstract beauties by simply moving your camera? Make art that is all your own!

This workshop will teach you how to look at a scene and capture it through intentional camera movement or ICM for short.

Bring your camera and get ready to have fun designing your image. Decide what you want to be featured and how your movement will enhance the picture you see!

Indoors or outdoors, your choice. With people? Nature? Flowers? Any subject you enjoy—let’s get moving your camera!

  • Pick your camera up and change a few settings to allow your creativity to flow

  • With longer exposure, you have SO many options to modify & make the view your own

  • Simple movement can make a scene magic and abstract

  • Learn the settings to change a view from being stationary to fluid

  • Make Art from your photographs that only you can create

  • Variable Neutral Density filters are STRONGLY recommended

 MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR

I am a retired educator that loves exploring the outdoors with my Nikon. Got my first digital camera when I started teaching. Was 100% clueless about photography, but absolutely fell in love with it.

My love for abstract images started with my interest in Art Lenses. These are predominantly manual focus and have a fixed focal length. Being able to use selective focus and “blur” parts of my image naturally led me to even more blur with Intentional Camera Movement, also known as ICM. This technique is an incredible tool to create art through your photography.

I’m fortunate to live 5 minutes from the American River and amazing trails with nature all around. My preferred subjects are landscapes in nature and flowers. Also love shooting flowers up close with a macro lens or adapter. All things abstract are a great part of my passion.

So, welcome to my world of beauty.
