Chatham Island an ICM wonderland

Admina February 20, 2024

Chatham Island’s brilliant blue sky against the backdrop of the shoreline and the green from the South Coast allow for photographers to create a variety of ICM (Intentional Camera Movement) images.

These images taken on Women in Photography’s annual photography retreat are just some of the photographic genres, if you’re an artistic photographer that you can master.

Women in Photography also runs an annual Auckland based ICM Photography Retreat where globally recognised and New Zealand based ICM photographer Judy Stokes will take you through the entire “capture to image editing” process while I take you through the print preparation and editing process.

My Personal ICM Journey

Exploring the world of Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) under the tutorage of Stephanie Johnson global ICM leader and mentor as well as being the founder of ICM Photography Magazine has been a very personal journey for me and pushing me to “unlearn” traditional photographic techniques.

A Different Kind of Photography

In the simplest terms, ICM can be defined as photographically capturing an image while intentionally moving the camera during the exposure.

ICM is a fascinating and beautiful world where the camera and the photographer’s movements combine to become a mechanical paintbrush, transforming photographic captures into something completely unique and otherwise invisible to the naked eye.
