Photography   

ICM (Intentional Camera Movement) allows photographers to create artistic interpretations by intentionally moving the camera during exposure to produce unique, creative effects. This class explores how motion can become the subject of an image, similar to Impressionism and abstract art. Through photo walkabouts, assignments, and projected critiques, students will develop their creative vision and explore new ways of seeing. Experience shooting in Manual mode is required; post-processing skills are helpful. Off-campus photo walkabouts; some driving required. Not a Photoshop class.
