The Creative World of ME ICM

Enter a realm of creative exploration, where participants are introduced to the captivating possibilities of multiple exposure ICMs (meaning using ICM for all exposures of the ME sequence). Through the utilization of Average, Bright, and Dark blend modes, alongside the innovative High Frame Rate ME technique, attendees expand their creative horizons and elevate their photographic skills.  Cameras with the onboard ME and blend mode capabilities have the best experience while participating in this course.  However, it is still possible to participate in the class by creating the exposures in-camera and then blending in post-processing, for cameras without the ME capability.

Multiple exposure ICMs enable us to take ICM to new levels to intentionally create wonderfully abstract and artistic images.  Focus on light, color, contrast, line, pattern, and texture to create images that are uniquely expressive and visually distinctive.  Work deliberately with a camera to explore how all these elements blend beautifully together with multiple exposure ICMs using in-camera blend modes.

In this six-week online workshop, Stephanie 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 teaches her process for how they are made. The passion, knowledge, experience, and vision Stephanie imparts inspires 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, and many ideas for potential subjects in a variety of natural landscapes and urban settings are shown through a multitude of image examples.  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 using ICM for all exposures of the ME sequence.  Image reviews of your images are also an important aspect of this course.

A post-processing overview covering blending multiple exposures in Adobe Photoshop is included in the final lesson; however, this workshop is geared more towards creating the ME ICM images in-camera and using post-processing as a finishing tool, rather than about creating images in post-processing.

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.
