Course Description
This workshop is designed specifically for working with Android smartphones to create uniquely artistic and creatively expressive images using Intentional Camera Movement (ICM). Take your Android smartphone image-making creativity to a new level and to see the world differently by using ICM to achieve images that are unique to you and your experience in the world.
In this new three-week online workshop, Stephanie Johnson demonstrates how she works with her Galaxy S22+ mobile device and the Camera FV-5 app to create beautifully abstract ICMs. She shares images, techniques, tools, and knowledge that reveal how she is able to interact quickly and easily with the locations she is immersed in to create abstract and impressionistic images of the world around her with her smartphone. The passion, experience, and unique vision Stephanie imparts inspires you to see things differently, to push the boundaries, and to tap more fully into your own inner creative self.
Presentations covering a range of photographic subjects help you see the potential of any given scene and how you can work with your Android device to create ICM images no matter where you are. While the main focus is on the use of the Camera FV-5 app as the tool, Stephanie also covers the use of the onboard camera of the mobile device, as well as the Lightroom Mobile camera as additional options for working with the smartphone.
Each session begins with an image review of participant’s work, then offers a presentation to enhance your knowledge and skills, and ends with an assignment for you to get out with your smartphone to explore, experiment, and play with creating new ICM images.
A post-processing workflow overview covering Lightroom Mobile, creating collections, and syncing with Lightroom Classic are also included. This provides options for the post-processing workflow to ensure you are able to work on your images either on your mobile device or on your computer.
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 reviews/feedback—she inspires you to take your ICM artistry to new heights.

What You Should Know:
This workshop is open to photographers with Android mobile devices who have a basic foundation and knowledge of ICM photography. It is recommended that you download either the Camera FV-5 Lite (free version) or the Camera FV-5 full version (small one-time fee of about $5). This is the app Stephanie uses for her own mobile ICM work, and it is the app she recommends.
Stephanie also uses Lightroom Mobile to edit her Android ICMs; however, the same principles should apply to any mobile image editing software in the event you do not use Lightroom Mobile.
