Beyond basic ICM and Multiple exposure with Niall Benvie

Following on from his presentations to Camversation last year, Niall Benvie delves deeper into one of the topics he introduced then: multiple-exposure “kaleidoscopes”. He will demonstrate how, by combining the technique with his field studio images, he creates novel images that speak about the individuality of wild creatures. You will learn about the creative contribution of Blending Modes in Photoshop and also how he uses them in his ICM derived “tartans”.

Be ready to open your mind!

About Niall:

Niall Benvie (1964) grew up in eastern Scotland where his parents were berry farmers. He ran and worked the farm until it was sold in the late 1980’s then studied geography and contemporary European studies at Dundee University for his honours degree. But his first love has always been the natural world - and image making. He has been at the centre of several of the largest outdoor photography initiatives of the last 15 years including Wild Wonders of Europe, Meet Your Neighbours and 2020VISION. He was a Founding Fellow of the International League of Conservation Photographers and has published seven books and hundreds of articles. He now lives in the Morvan in central France with his wife Charlotte with whom he runs Food and Photography Retreats Ltd and claims hoopoes and turtle doves, nightingales and golden oriole as his neighbours.

This talk will be recorded and made available for two weeks after the event.
