CREATING ABSTRACT ART WITH INTENTIONAL CAMERA MOVEMENT
When most photographers think of Intentional Camera Movement (ICM), what comes to mind is images infused with ambiguity and motion as a consequence of camera movement during a longer than normal exposure with the subject matter being the usual landscapes, street scenes, architecture, people, etc. ICM, however, provides another opportunity when it is taken into a studio environment to create abstract works of art using common materials and a variety of lighting techniques.
On Monday, September 21, photographic artist David Day will present a program to Redlands Camera Club in which he will demonstrate how to construct an ICM studio using materials like plastic bags, tissue paper, wire, glass, newsprint, and a variety of dissected plant parts. He will explore the different methods of camera movement that can then be used along with a variety of post-processing techniques to create unusual abstract works of art with the camera. Throughout the presentation, a variety of images will be analyzed to reinforce the techniques being presented.
This free Zoom-only presentation begins at 7pm Monday, September 21. The public is welcome to attend. For a link to the meeting and more, see the Redlands Camera Club website: redlandscameraclub.org.
