ICM Photography Tutorial – Intentional Camera Movement

In this tutorial, I’m going to show you how to do ICM photography. ICM photography is not that common but it has been around for years and is achieved by deliberately moving the camera during your exposure. In this video, I’ll tell you some tips, techniques and the camera settings you’ll need to create intentional camera movement shots. This will be a great tutorial for anyone who wants to use ICM techniques to create this abstract look.

Tremendous tutorial made things far easier to comprehend.

Really like the idea of using the hood as a pivot point‼️✌️🇦🇺

[ileneafrick]

Your video clarified the technique for me. Thank you.

[CruisingWithChooChoo]

Great tutorial!! I appreciate how quickly you got to it and showed us how to do it.

[Bobmeanstreak]

Pretty good. You can always give yourself more time for a steady shot by adding an ND filter.

Never heard of this before, definitely something I'll be trying out

[cmishvicki]

Nice and simple. I like that you're using shutter speed mode instead of Manual!

[kellyturnerphotography]

I just love the way you speak! It’s the accent lol 😆 And I’ve found that while reading your book, I hear it in my head the way you say it lol

[estherdiskin]

The icm was explained so simply here thank you. One question were you using manual focus or auto.

[jimwlouavl]

Pivoting with the lens hood is a smart idea. Nice images that I’m looking forward to trying.

This almost looks like one can do on Affinity photo ie motion blur, gaucean blur etc. But is cool too see it done in the field

[paulmoores]

Just what I needed to get me out the door with my camera in hand. Thanks.

[glogirl]

Just discovered you on here and am loving the tutorials. Thanks!

[clraffell]

Absolutely wonderful tutorials, thanks! My question is, how does one make money from the landscape photography as opposed to portraiture photography where most people would be happy to invest on certain life events?

Interesting video. New type of method I have seen here. More creativity. Nice video.

[amaitra]

Really nice one! I will try it! What focal lengths tend to work well? Other than the 50mm you used.

[Noealz]

Have never heard that term before - but it's a common thing heard - anyways, cool shots man - have a nice weekend

[hardene]
