The rainbow effect

A sea of tulips before me Like a child I scribble the colours

Red, yellow, pink, green, orange, purple and blue Nature offers up a rainbow I hardly believe my eyes But it is real

ICM Deep Dive

Over 6 sessions I will guide you deep into 6 ICM subjects - Each week a new presentation with loads of material from real shoots to fully understand all the aspects and factors that influence ICM photography from 6 subjectswoodlands and trees, water, architecture and urban, animals, details and the last week will actually cover a number of smaller subject (so actually you get more than 6 subjects!)

In addition to the presentation each session you will be asked to submit a homework assignment in response to each presentation. From this, you will gain timely and valuable individual feedback and an opportunity to discuss any challenges you found or questions that you have.

By the end of the course you will have a deeper understanding of a variation of ICM subjectssome you may wish to take further, others you may not. But having the support to experiment and gain immediate feedback is an invaluable way to learn and be supported if this interests you.

ICM Deep Dive Further

A new course for the second half of 2023.

So many of you have followed the Deep dive course, then asked for more. So, I have created this course as a follow on to the Deep dive course.

Similar to the original course, it will run over 6 sessions. This course is aimed at developing your creativity further. However, rather than subjects, you will be encouraged to interpret words and concepts using the ICM technique.

If you have enjoyed the monthly ICM challenges, this will be the perfect course for you, with lots of valuable individual feedback and an opportunity to discuss any challenges you found or questions that you have. Once again, I hope to encourage you to step outside your comfort zone and experiment to develop your ICM journey further.

Every week there will be a presentation and feedback.

By the end of the course I hope you will have further extended your knowledge and understanding of the ICM technique and how its possibilities go further than just a technical process.

Dependent on demand – new dates before the end of the year will be added for this course if the 1st dates fill up.

ICM and Multiple exposures

Over 3 sessions, we will explore various methods to produce multiple exposure images using ICM images. Non-ICM traditional images will also be utilised during the combination process. Lots of real-life examples showing the process from the initial idea, through capture and then postprocessing in photoshop.

It is possible to follow this course using an iPhone.

The concepts taught will give you a greater understanding of not only how you can combine images using Photoshop or mobile apps, but also why you may want to combine images.

Please note -This is not a workshop to learn incamera multiple exposure work, this is not something I practise often.

Personal mentoring

For many, a group course offers exactly what you are looking for. If however, you are looking to develop your photographic journey with the support of someone who will guide, support and encourage, personal mentoring may be for you.

Having been mentored myself, by three wonderful individuals, I understand the real benefits this route can offer in developing confidence and direction.

Personal mentoring can be tailored to your specific wishes. But if reading this you have no idea where you are at, I offer a short free 20- minute session for anyone considering it, so that we can chat over any ideas you may have and I can answer questions and provide you with information on the possibilities from mentoring.

Mentor sessions are tailored to YOUR needs and there is not one path that fits all. Recent mentees I have worked with include those submitting for a qualification, those looking for guidance and direction and an individual to be accountable to. Changing path in your career from work to retirement also features, as does working on a project and preparing for an exhibition.

Individual mentor sessions 65 euros

Book and pay for 3 or more sessions together – each session is 60 euros

I have written a couple of articles on mentoring, the most recent, which was in the ICM Photo mag, which I have included in this newsletter.

“I love interacting with and helping people. So, I see the opportunity to support others in their photographic journey as a privilege. I gain as much joy from seeing someone I have worked with, present an exhibition or win an award, as I do if it’s myself. I am constantly inspired by those I teach and feel very privileged to be able to part of each individual journey. Sometimes it is the enthusiasm or ideas, while working with another that will ignite an idea, or give me the push to get out with my camera or finish a project. I often hear myself imparting knowledge and thinking that I should really do that exact thing myself! It’s a great way to stay grounded and remember where my journey started with the support of others.”
