On May 19th, I had the pleasure of hosting a\u00a0PhotoTV<\/a>\u00a0live session on abstract photography\u00a0
\u2013 The Art of the Invisible \u2013<\/em> <\/strong>
for FotoTV members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to a recommendation by Michael Omori, FotoTV became aware of my work, and I was invited to share my approach to Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) and multiple exposure photography with their creative community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almost 50 members joined the Zoom session \u2013 an open-minded and curious audience ready to dive into the world of creative and experimental photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kerstin Sch\u00fctz from FotoTV kicked off the evening with a thoughtful introduction, setting the perfect tone for our exploration into photographic perception beyond sharpness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ICM & Multiple Exposure: Creative Tools for New Perspectives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

My goal was to provide participants with a kind of toolbox \u2013\u00a0
fundamental techniques, creative impulses, and inspiration to encourage them to take their first steps into ICM photography and artistic multiple exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because abstract photography is not about rules \u2013 it\u2019s about freedom.\u00a0
It\u2019s not just about capturing reality,\u00a0but about expressing how we feel,<\/em>not only to\u00a0See<\/em>.\u00a0
sense, and interpret it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What We Explored Together<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

ICM (Intentional Camera Movement) as a creative expression<\/strong>
\u2013 Moving the camera intentionally as an artistic tool
\u2013 Feeling with the camera rather than just seeing<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The basics of motion in ICM<\/strong>
\u2013 Horizontal and vertical movements
\u2013 Panning, circular motion, zooming, swiping<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multiple exposure photography<\/strong>
\u2013 Combining several images into a multi-layered composition
\u2013 Playing with light, rhythm, and structure<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technique & editing<\/strong>
\u2013 Camera settings for ICM and multiple exposures
\u2013 First steps in post-processing<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perception and emotion in photography<\/strong>
\u2013 How abstract photography can shift the way we see the world
\u2013 Why blur can be a strength, not a flaw<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

From Knowledge to Expression: The Power of Experimental Photography<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This evening wasn\u2019t just about techniques \u2013 it was about inspiring creativity and opening a door to new possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The positive feedback from participants was overwhelming. I received many personal messages, encouraging comments in the chat \u2013 and even some first ICM experiments already shared online.
This wonderful feedback means a lot to me. It shows that abstract photography resonates \u2013 and brings people into dialogue with their own perception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Why Abstract Photography Is More Than Just \u201cBlurred\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I offered this course to show that abstract photography offers a powerful way to express emotions and impressions that are difficult to capture with traditional methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if ICM or multiple exposures aren\u2019t everyone\u2019s preferred style, these techniques can broaden visual perception and bring new impulses \u2013 even for photographers who usually focus on representational subjects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my own artistic practice, I\u2019ve been working with these methods for years \u2013 intentionally and with purpose. My images don\u2019t arise by chance; they are expressions of movement, emotion, and internal landscapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My abstract photography invites you to perceive \u2013 beyond the obvious.
Not as a reproduction of the world, but as a visual resonance of what cannot be easily put into words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s Stay Connected<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re trying out ICM or multiple exposure, tag me or drop me a line \u2013 I\u2019d love to see your results and continue the creative exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 19 May, I was invited to give a live session on FotoTV on the subject of Abstract Photography - the Art of the Invisible. Through the recommendation of Michael Omori from Fotografr, FotoTV became aware of my work - and so I got the opportunity to present my approach to Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) and multiple exposure in photography in an exclusive live event for the platform's members. Nearly 50 FotoTV members attended the Zoom meeting - a curious, open-minded audience that dived into the world of abstract and experimental photography with great interest and openness. The evening was opened by Kerstin Sch\u00fctz from FotoTV, whose professional moderation created the perfect setting for our joint discovery of creative photography beyond classic focus. ICM & multiple exposure: creative tools for new perspectives My aim was to provide a \"toolbox\": basic techniques, creative impulses and first steps for experimenting with ICM photography and artistic multiple exposure. Because abstract photography is not a rigid set of rules, but a free playing field. It's about feeling with the camera, not just seeing. It's about expression instead of depiction - about emotion instead of documentation. The topics of the evening at a glance Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) as an artistic means of creation- The conscious movement of the camera as a creative tool- Photography as an expression of inner perception- Fundamentals of movement in ICM photography- Horizontal and vertical panning- Circular movements, zooming, wiping- Multiple exposures in photography- Combining several shots into a multi-layered composition- Playing with light, Technique & editing- Camera settings for ICM and multiple exposures- First steps in post-processing Photographic perception and emotion- How abstract photography changes our view of reality- Why blurring is not a mistake, but an artistic stylistic device From knowledge to expression: the power of experimental photography I didn't just want to teach technique - my aim was to inspire enthusiasm. For the creative potential that lies in Intentional Camera Movement and multiple exposure. The positive response from the participants was overwhelming. I received many personal messages and there was great feedback in the chat. I was particularly pleased that some participants were immediately inspired to experiment with the camera themselves, and this wonderful feedback is very valuable to me. It shows me that abstract photography inspires and connects. Why abstract photography is more than just \"out of focus\" I gave this course to show that abstract photography can be a way to express feelings and impressions that are difficult to capture with classical photography. Even if ICM or multiple exposures are not the preferred medium for everyone, they expand photographic perception and offer valuable impulses - even for people who usually work in a more representational way. I have been using these techniques in my own artistic work for many years - consciously and with artistic intention. My pictures are not created by chance, but are an expression of emotion, movement and inner landscapes. My abstract photography is an invitation to perception - beyond the obvious, not as an image of the world, but as a resonance to that which cannot be put into words. Fancy more? Let's stay in touch! If you try out ICM or multiple exposure yourself, feel free to tag me or write to me - I look forward to seeing your results and engaging in creative dialogue. \ud83d\udce9 Want to stay up to date?
