As photographers, we often rely on long exposures to illuminate dimly lit scenes. However, slow shutter speeds can do more than just provide brightness – by physically moving the camera while the shutter curtain is open, familiar scenes can be presented in a fresh light. The recorded movements add a level of abstraction to an otherwise static photograph.
This technique, called Intentional Camera Movement (ICM), allows photographers to create images that showcase their creativity and artistically manipulate the shot. Here, the emphasis is not on sharpness but on controlled blurring, which brings out colours and textures while highlighting the lines and patterns. ICM allows us to create unique and captivating images that tell a story and evoke emotions.
