I’ve always been fascinated by long-exposure photography and the surreal, transcendent qualities it captures across time. This landscape is from a series shot a few years back when I began seriously exploring intentional camera movement. ICM blends long-exposure with motion to produce abstract and impressionistic photography full of unintentional, but intriguing surprise.
Increasingly, demands on time led me to transition from static long-exposure to a more flexible approach to everyday landscapes. There’s a freedom to ditching the tripod and taking long-exposures while walking. Making these photographs opened a door and transformed my daily commute into a new arena for creative play.
These days, the big camera usually stays home and I’m mostly shooting (and processing) on phone. But I’m still developing work from this time and love the film-like smoothness and depths in comparison to the phone. Both have their advantages, and the phone rules for speed, apps and mobility. But the big camera* still kicks ass in terms of image quality.
*The big camera’s are Canon SLR’s 5d, 5dMKII, 400d & 1000d
