A week of ICM with Stephanie Johnson

A Camversation Event

A Week of ICM with Stephanie Johnson

(Subject to minor changes prior to the start date.)

Overview of Sessions

5 Live 2-Hour Zoom Sessions Monday – Friday – 14-18 August 2023

This Week of ICM covers a progressive range of topics and approaches to ICM photography, with a focus on doing the work in-camera primarily with DSLR and Mirrorless camera systems as the foundation. The course will progress from introducing basic ICM techniques through to more advanced ICM techniques with single exposures. Following on from single exposure ICM techniques, a session will be devoted to Mobile ICMs, for those interested in exploring this avenue with ICM. Lastly, multiple exposure (ME) ICM techniques will be covered, which will include the use of various in-camera blending modes, as well as a section devoted comparing in-camera ME ICMs in relation to post-processing methods of creating ME ICMs by layering individual ICM images in Photoshop.

Session #5 – Multiple Exposure ICMs, In-Camera Blending Modes & Post-Processing

Welcome & Creative Inspiration by Stephanie Lecture/Demonstration – ME ICMs, In-Camera Blending Modes, & Post Processing

Introduction to the Concept of Multiple Exposure ICMs

This lesson is focused on creating ME ICMs in-camera as a primary technique

• Setting up the Camera

• Type 1 – In-Camera ME ICM Sequences

• Type 2 – In-Camera Continuous Shooting/Rapid Fire Sequences

• Example Images of Both Types

• In-Camera Blending Modes Explained

• Field Work Video

Discussion about Blending ICMs outside of the Camera

• This is geared for those whose cameras do not have the Bright and Dark blending modes or who don’t have in-camera ME capability onboard

• Basic Demonstration for Blending Individual ICM Images in Photoshop

• Using ICM Layers in Photoshop to Create an ME ICM Effect

• Comparison of In-Camera ME ICMs with ME ICMs Created in Post Processing

• This is meant to provide an understanding of the differences between creating ME ICMs in-camera versus layering individual images in post processing

Suggestions for Practical Application Use with Multiple Exposure ICMs

Total time = 120 minutes (this includes a 10-minute break)

THIS WORKSHOP WILL BE RECORDED AND MADE AVAILABLE FOR ONE MONTH
