Photographer's, take creative ICM photos like a pro!!
A workshop of photographic discovery, creating unique visual art with ICM
(intentional camera movement)
Forget everything you’ve been taught about keeping your camera still.
This is where you break the rules - on purpose.
Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) is photography at its most freeing. It’s where light becomes paint, movement becomes emotion, and every frame is a one-of-a-kind piece of art. No two images are ever the same… and that’s exactly the point.
What starts as curiosity quickly turns into obsession.
This isn’t just a workshop. It’s a creative reset.
Over a hands-on, energising morning session, you’ll step into a completely different way of seeing - and shooting.
You’ll:
Turn everyday scenes into abstract, painterly works of art
Learn to move with intention - mastering panning, zooming, and expressive motion
Discover how shutter speed transforms chaos into beauty
Chase colour, texture, and light in ways you’ve never noticed before
Let go of perfection… and create something far more interesting
Expect to shoot a lot.
Expect to delete a lot.
And somewhere in between, you’ll capture something magic.
And yes… it’s wildly addictive.
We’ll wrap things up with a fun creative challenge - pushing you to experiment, trust your instincts, and surprise yourself with what you can create.
You’ll leave inspired, a little obsessed, and seeing the world in a completely new way.
Are you ready to fall in love with the blur?
This is your permission to play. To experiment. To create without rules.
BOOK TODAY you'll walk away feeling creatively inspired...

What do I need to bring?
Travel light. Your DSLR camera! And a zoom lens. And that's it. Whilst using a tripod can be another useful tool and technique for this workshop you won't need a tripod for this session. We will be walking around a fair bit and discovering unique areas to trial our newfound skills.
If you have an ND filter (4-10) bring it/them along.
Make sure your battery/ies are fully charged! Yes, I've made that mistake ;)
A water bottle! Hydrate, regularly. :)
What do I wear?
Comfy clothes and shoes for walking around in!
A low to moderate level of fitness. We will be walking around, but plenty of rest or sitting along the way while we 'shoot'.
If sunny, a hat and sunscreen. Though we will try to be mostly in shaded/darker areas there will be short bouts where we are in the sunshine walking.
What if it's raining?
Kismet! How exciting for us to be able to use water as a texture within images. Bring an umbrella.
However, storms are different. We will certainly reschedule if storms or a weather event occurs.
Do I need to know how to use a camera?
Basic knowledge of using manual is useful, however the photography skill levels for this particular workshop are suitable for entry level beginners to intermediate level photographers. The limited number of participants ensures adequate individual attention to every person. We take you on a journey helping you to be more comfortable with your camera’s settings and create amazing images.
Will I get help?
All workshop numbers are capped so you are able to receive personalised one on one guidance and tuition throughout the session. Your OpenroadFootprint workshop host is there to help every step of the way!
