Intentional Camera Movement: Headless Dance
Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) is a photographic technique that involves moving the camera during the exposure to create a creative or artistic effect1. By intentionally moving the camera, the image points move across the recording medium, resulting in varied effects such as streaking, textures, and layers in the resulting image. This technique is often used to add the illusion of movement to a still image by introducing motion blur through long exposures.
ICM photography allows photographers to add creativity and abstraction to their images by effectively painting with their cameras. Instead of recording sharp, lifelike images, ICM enables photographers to create more abstract renditions of landscapes or subjects.
This set of images was my first attempt at ICM while visiting the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. It is a creative rendering of one the sculptures in Erwin Wurm: Trap of the Truth series.
