It’s natural to look for a formula. Traditional photography is often taught that way.
But creative photography - and especially Intentional Camera Movement - doesn’t unfold inside fixed recipes.

When photographers ask about camera settings, what they’re often really asking is how to begin. A simple starting place can help - something like shutter priority at 1/15 second with a low ISO - just enough to feel motion without overwhelming the frame.

After that, the photograph is shaped by the moment itself: the light, the subject, the movement in your body, and the intention behind the image. That’s why I don’t list full camera settings with my photographs. Numbers can’t describe how the light shifted or how the camera moved through space.

ICM isn’t built by copying settings.
It’s shaped through technique, experience, and creative choice.

For photographers who want to explore that process more deeply, my teaching work includes books that address both the technical side of ICM and the creative mindset behind it. You can find them on my publications page.
