Course Description
Take ICM to the next level by combining it with multiple exposures to achieve wonderfully abstract works of art. Focus on light, color, contrast, line, pattern, and texture to create images that are expressive and distinctive. Work intentionally with a camera to explore how all these elements blend beautifully together with multiple exposure ICMs.
In this three-week online workshop, Stephanie Johnson demonstrates how she works with the camera to create ME ICMs. She shares images that reveal the fantastical worlds that can be created with this advanced ICM technique and reviews how they were made. The passion, knowledge, experience, and thought processes Stephanie imparts inspire you to see things differently, to push the boundaries, and to tap more fully into your own inner creative self.
In-camera blend modes and multiple exposure options are discussed and demonstrated, as well as ideas for the best conditions and subjects to look for in a variety of natural landscapes and urban settings. This sets the foundation for exploration and creative expression with the camera, and each session ends with an assignment for you to do just that—explore, experiment, and play with the camera. Feedback on your images is an important aspect of this workshop.
A post-processing overview covering blending multiple exposures in Adobe Photoshop is included for those interested and for those whose cameras cannot create ME ICMs in-camera; however, this workshop is more about creating images in-camera and using post-processing as a finishing tool, rather than about creating images in post-processing.
The real magic happens when you are able to see the results of the creative process in the field. Honing the ability to create ME ICMs in-camera enables you to see the work unfolding and then make adjustments to actively craft your images in real time.
Stephanie is a passionate advocate for encouraging others to find their unique creative vision. In this workshop—through a combination of lecture, demonstration, and live feedback—she inspires you to take your art to new heights.

about
Stephanie is a self-taught creative photographer who is primarily focused on processes such as Intentional Camera Movement (ICM), Multiple Exposure (ME), and creative photography techniques as forms of artistic expression. She has a deep passion for crafting distinctive images by working with a variety of both in-camera techniques and hands-on analog techniques to create uniquely expressive and abstract imagery that reflect her individual artistic vision. As a creative photographer and artist, she is always seeking to push the boundaries of her artistry by evolving her processes, techniques, and stylistic choices. She brings an inter-connected and intuitive approach to her photography-as-art to visually express the essence of light, color, form, line, texture, mood, and emotion through abstraction, through various in-camera creative techniques, through analog processes, and through the creative layering and blending of gathered elements in the processing stage to weave together a deeply expressive vision of experience.
Stephanie has a Bachelor of Arts degree and graduate work in English Literature and is the Founder, Creator, and Publisher of ICM Photography Magazine (ICMPhotoMag), a first-of-its-kind e-magazine dedicated solely to featuring ICM photography. Because of her own creative expansion and artistic evolution, Stephanie has launched a movement to redefine ICM as Intentional Creative Moments, which allows the magazine to celebrate creativity above and beyond a singular technique and allows photographers the freedom to explore a variety of creative techniques.
As an instructor for Santa Fe Workshops, Stephanie leads ICM and Creative Photography workshops online and on-location for SFW. She also collaborates with various other learning communities to share her passion, processes, and knowledge of these creative photography techniques.
