Intentional Camera Movement and Multiple Exposure with Charlotte Bellamy

I'm really pleased that we've managed to organise some talks from Charlotte - who was widely requested by members of the Camversation community!

From Charlotte:

Combining ICM images to create multiple exposures is a wonderful way to extend your creativity. In this webinar, I will be walking you through right from the beginning of the process, and asking you to think about why you want to create them, and how the process will add to your image. It's the basis from which I work with all my photography, and find that the time taken to understand why you might want to create multiple exposures can lead to a much stronger end result.

I work in Photoshop to create my end images, and so I will walk you through the process that I follow, again looking at how and why some images work, and others fight against each other or get lost in the process.

With loads of examples, I hope by the end of the time we have together that you will understand a little better that combining ICMs into multiple exposures is an enjoyable process and one with which you can express your creativity and feelings about a location or object better than with one image alone.

About Charlotte:

Charlotte Bellamy’s creative style of photography is inspired by the environment in which she lives. She takes inspiration for her work the minute she looks out of her window. The weather and the changes in season, offering her ever changing wonderment.

Her early photographic career tended towards portraits and weddings. However, with a move to the Netherlands, her interest in landscapes was triggered. After five years following a traditional landscape photography path, she felt a need to express her feelings about the locations she was photographing, rather than just capturing a technically perfect or pretty image of a place.  Charlotte has never been one to follow the crowd. So, through a desire to push boundaries, and experiment outside of the expected, she has found a powerful way to express her creativity through Intentional Camera movement and multiple exposure layering of images.

These techniques she feels, help her to add texture, contrast and colour, resulting in images that then require more than a quick glance for the viewer to fully understand what they are looking at. Some of her images are created in a moment of spontaneity, whilst others are carefully combined to replicate a memory. Many of her images are made just a short walk from her house, and prove that you need not travel to beautiful and exotic locations to create unique images. Just that you be inspired and intrigued by a location.

This talk will be recorded and made available to ticket holders for two weeks.
