ICM

ICM gathers photographs made through intentional camera movement, long exposure, walking, reflected light and shifting perception.

  • Black-and-white vertical photograph of a bright wavy line of light in a misty dark sky above a dark textured surface reflecting the wave shape.

  • Black-and-white abstract street photograph using intentional camera movement, with a lone dark figure standing near centre, surrounded by blurred figures, open street space, and faint streaking lights in the background.
    Stand still, surrounding infinite space

  • Vertical black-and-white photograph of narrow pointed leaves repeated by intentional camera movement. Pale overlapping fans spread across the upper frame, while denser dark clusters and radiating lines gather below.

  • Black-and-white abstract image with two pale light-bearing forms separated by a narrow central passage in a dark field.

  • Black-and-white abstract street photograph using intentional camera movement, with dark figures moving through bright ground below tall streaked city buildings and strong light from the left.

  • Square abstract photograph of a cabbage tree against a pale blue-grey sky. Intentional camera movement stretches its dark, narrow leaves outwards in overlapping radial streaks, above a shadowed band of ground and vegetation.

Galleries

Black-and-white abstract urban landscape with a blurred treeline above, a heavy dark mass at right, and a band of looping white light trails streaming across the middle ground.

Sun Glints

Abstract colour street photograph with a vivid chrome-yellow band sweeping from the foreground towards the centre. Blurred road lines, repeated fragments of “NOT IN SERVICE”, dark buildings and a yellow-orange façade stretch through the city scene.

The Painted City

Blurred image of a large green tree against a pale blue sky, with golden light around either side, looping yellow light traces near the middle, and a dark green-black foreground below.

Atmospherics & Impressions

Abstract blurred photograph of orange and yellow flowers against dark green foliage, with pale blue and pink areas near the top and radiating motion softening the blooms into glowing colour.

The Flower Garden

An abstract photograph with a large pale blue and lavender wave-like form sweeping across the frame, bordered by bright fractured light trails and softer mauve and violet tones.

Compression Landscapes

Blurred black-and-white scene with dark palm-like trees at right, pale misty light at left, and scattered bright specks across a dark foreground.

These Dark Days

Vertical black-and-white photograph centred on a large tree trunk, boughs and canopy. Circular camera movement transforms background light into repeated pale loops and rounded forms surrounding the broad, dark central structure.
