Intentional Camera Movement Demystified: How to Paint With Light & Movement

When I first started experimenting with Intentional Camera Movement (ICM), I struggled to find clear, practical guidance — so I created the book I wish I’d had. In it, I share my evolved practice, building on ICM. Drawing on my professional backgrounds, I developed Embodied Camera Movement (ECM): a way of using body awareness and subtle movement to create painterly, impressionistic photographs.This practice blends creative photography with insights into our multi-sensory experience of the world, helping you explore new ways to make images. It also involves working with body and breath to unlock new possibilities. You’ll also explore how to reconnect with your innate creativity while producing art that resonates.Inside, you’ll find:• Step-by-step guidance for crafting painterly ICM images with both digital cameras and iPhone apps• Creative walkthroughs of my own process across genres, from woodland, everyday life, animals and buildings to seascape.• Over an hour of exclusive video tutorials to deepen your learning beyond the page• An introduction to Embodied Camera Movement, blending biomechanics, breath, and creativity for stability and precision• Bridge your vision and the natural world through embodied photography.• Practical exercises and artistic insights to help you reconnect with your innate creative geniusThis guide is written to teach and inspire.
