Seashore Sunset - ICM representation #4747 Photograph - Limited Edition of 5

Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) may seem like a novel technique at first glance. In his book "Photography and the Art of Seeing" (1985/07), Freeman Patterson, a Canadian nature photographer and author born in 1937, introduced the technique of "moving the camera while releasing the shutter. Originally, in photography, the camera was fixed, the focus was sought, and the shutter was released. This was the rule. Freeman, however, turned this common sense on its head. He moves the camera quickly to capture the afterimage of light. Inspired by "Photography and the Art of Seeing" I immediately gave it a try. I wanted to capture the hustle and bustle of the city, not the trees, as trails of light. For example, a shadow crossing in front of me would be sensitized as a faint afterimage by moving the camera. It is like an uncertain afterimage stored in the human brain, yet somehow nostalgic. ICM is fascinating, fresh, and moving. But it was much harder than I expected. I feel that ICM's images are more suited to my constitution. In 2022, I am actively using ICM to photograph the beaches and temples around me. Sometimes a mysterious and deeply spiritual expression similar to the collodion process, in which silver nitrate is applied to a glass original plate and photographed, can be reproduced with a digital camera. Without sticking to ICM, I will always seek new photographic expressions that transcend preconceived notions. <> This work captures a moment in the sunset at the seaside. The ever-changing light. The magnificent drama of light as the day comes to an end. I run my lens in quick movements as I press the shutter release button. The light, along with the movement of the lens, fixes an image far beyond human vision. A photograph like a Japanese ink painting is born. It will include a certificate of authenticity with a handwritten signature, edition number, and date taken. high-resolution images, please visit official site at tranzoo.com.
