Exhibition opening event of 'My Journey My project' - group 2 2024
This is a recording of the opening event for a group photography exhibition - My journey My project.
To visit the exhibition its self - please use this link. Available till end February 2025.
artspaces.kunstmatrix.com/en/exhibition/13462058/my-journey-my-project-2024-group-2
In January 2024, nine individuals signed up for my ‘Project mentoring’ yearlong course. Some thought they had an idea they wanted to make reality, others had no idea and were looking for support to get started. What they all had in common, was a desire to learn, and create a body of work by the end of the year.
What you see on the walls, reflects just a small part of each individual’s journey. Every single set of images is unique, and is the culmination of our time together as a group. Some of the projects are ongoing, and what you see is just a gathering of images from the journey up until this point.
Throughout the experience, I have offered encouragement, ideas, information and support, to encourage self-development, and learning skills, which can be used time and time again to create photography projects of all shapes and sizes. During our monthly sessions, we have looked at how to generate ideas, and identify opportunities and inspiration. Also how to work with planning, and working with short and long timescales and small and large bodies of work. In addition, we have also learnt how to write about projects and create artist statements.
Although I have been the facilitator and educator, I can not express my gratitude enough to all the group members for their support they have shown each other over the year.
In each room you will find the work of three or four of the group members. As you walk around the gallery, please take the time to read the artist statements for each individual. Just as you would in a real gallery or museum, these will give you an insight not only into the projects, but also the person behind the images. Some of the journeys are very personal, and I feel privileged and proud to be able to share them here with you.

      There's a few ways you can do this with film and printing. You can take 2 to 3 exposures at half or a third of the exposure time as you're moving the Camera and then. Using one sheet of photographic paper expose all three images onto the paper. One of the other way used to do multiple exposures within the Camera by clicking the release button and winding on without actually winding the film on. Again you have to reduce your exposure time to allow for multiple images on the same piece of film.

      Haas loved Kodachrome type F which was rated at 12 ASA so it was relatively easy for him to shoot at speeds of a quarter of a second in the evening light at the bullring. He was so used to this emulsion that as the story goes when Kodak introduced the new fangled “high speed” variety we all grew to use and raved over: KM 25 and said they would cease production of the original one, he purchased several hundred rolls of it.

    • @charlottebellamycreativephoto
      @charlottebellamycreativephoto 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi Claudia - my ISO I try to keep at 50 or 100 when I am doing ICM. You may have seen higher ISO readings when I was showing the sharp images - then I don't mind too much increasing my ISO to ensure I keep a good depth of field or a fast enough shutter speed if I am not using a tripod (which I rarely do!). I tend to think cameras have such good capabilities with ISO these days, I think nothing of going to 800 and will even use 12,800 if I don't have my tripod with me and still want the shot. With ICM I tend to select a shutter speed and adjust the depth of field first, then ISO. Hope that helped. Glad you enjoyed the video,

    Hi Charlotte. What a spectacular walk through bluebell woodlands. You've shown many different images with slightly different exposure times and movements that in just 30mins of your video I've learned so much about the intricacies of ICM and this has given my so many ideas for adopting & trying out for myself. I think for me I really like the images created around the 1 second exposure so 8862 & 8890 were images I really liked, and again you've demonstrated that different movements can result in totally different images, some I loved and others not so much, an important lesson indeed. I thought the long exposure image (8845) was a really interesting experiment and I really liked the result that you've achieved so something else to experiment with. The images I really liked (apart from most of those you showed!!) were 9309 as I think it is simply stunning and a beautiful image, it hasn't lost its sense of place or focus but the ICM lifts the resulting image really well. I also really like the close-up flower images ( love flower photography) particularly 9188 which I thought was stunning and your ICM movement gave a painterly affect with the small circular movement. I really like 8909 as a flower image, it's beautiful!! and, as an experiment, would really like to see this as a combined image with 8912 as a texture and blended in Photoshop. I'm wondering if you have ever considered experiment with portrait mode particularly with the close-up flower images so that the flowers are shown from their roots and the trees in the background are more defined - just a thought? Thank-You for this video🙏 , it has given me so many ideas to think about and experiment with in my image making. Cheers, Stu 🤓

    • @charlottebellamycreativephoto
      @charlottebellamycreativephoto 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Stu, thank you so much for a wonderful reply to my video. Its blown me away how much you have taken from what I presented to you. Part of learning ICM is also learning what YOU like. Anyone can teach what they do, but ICM is all about personal interpretation. I often get asked what makes a bad or good ICM image and really there is not a definitive answer - because if you love what you create, that is the most important thing. That awareness will come with time when you make an image and look at the back of the camera with excitement - that should tell you what you like. Build on this and you will also find your own style. 8 years ago I learned ICM 'bar code' style - over time i have finessed that towards what i like personally in my images, not what i think it necessarily should be. I thought your lovely long thought out comment deserved a thoughtful answer as i really appreciate you taking the time to make it.

      @@charlottebellamycreativephoto Thank you Charlotte for your considered reply. I mentioned a while back that I follow Kim Grant and through her teachings & philosophy, I have learnt to be more consider and intentional in my own creation of images, so combining this with observing your ICM skills and learning from your teachings, this will hopefully result in me being able to create ICM images that reflect my intentions and result in images that I really like, which it's all about really isn't it. 😊

    Thank you for including your hands in the shot - it's a great help to see the movements you make! After all, when is a jiggle actually a joggle?! Also, did you leave the ISO on auto?

      Liz you make an excellent point about my hands! Glad they were useful, so many times I teach people ask me to 'actually show' what i am doing with the camera as its all well to try and explain it, but an example paints a thousand words. Most people are amazed how little movement i actually make for my ICM images. Thanks for watching this vid, hope you enjoy others.

      Hi Liz, sorry just saw your comment about auto - no I always use manual auto, and have it set as low as possible. On my Nikon Z6II that is 50.

    Excellent video!! Really enjoyed it and appreciate the explanation of how you achieved the photos with ICM with how the area looked, the shutter speed used and the movement you used. Very insightful!

    Thanks Charlotte 👍- I'm learning more about ICM everyday. I wouldn't have thought of combining multiple images in this way, but the affect is stunning, at least they are in your images 😀 I have a question for you. When you start to blend the 2nd batch of images (around 12mins) you say the combination is "still flat". I'm just wondering what you mean by this? Thanks... Stu 🤓

    • @charlottebellamycreativephoto
      @charlottebellamycreativephoto 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi Stu - 'flat' is a feeling of how much depth the image has when you look at it. Do you feel carried through the image, or do you feel that it is 2 dimensional and that you are looking at something rather than into it. Hope that helps. I love to encourage the viewer into my images and ensuring that the light is variable throughout the image can help with this.
