Photography-based art

ABSTRACTIONS - BLURRING THE LINES OF REALITY...

I create my digital photography abstractions in-camera using a technique called intentional camera movement (ICM). This process involves moving the camera while the exposure is being made, or alternatively, photographing movement, while using a slow shutter speed. ICM produces images which lack detail. This moves the focus towards form and color and sparks the viewer's imagination.
