333: Kaisa Siren - Visualize the Unseen Through Intentional Camera Movement

Great photographs are hiding in plain sight everywhere. Often, we limit ourselves to only making photographs of the literal or obvious; however, there are techniques that exist such as Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) that can help us uncover more while invigorating our photographic journey. Today's guest on the F-Stop Collaborate and Listen Podcast, Kaisa Siren, is a photojournalist by day and an ICM expert as her passion. We explore how ICM can help photographers "Visualize the Unseen." On this week's episode, we discuss: How Kaisa got into photography. What it is like being a photographer at the arctic circle. Kaisa's freelance journalism. Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) techniques. Comparing and contrasting ICM with photojournalism. How to make better ICM images. And a lot more!
