ICMPhotoMag 2021 Beginnings Workshop 
Online Exhibitions

 

In January 2021, we launched the ICMPhotoMag Beginnings Workshop and then held two back-to-back 5-week workshops from 10 January through 28 March.  At the end of each workshop, we published an online exhibition to showcase the final projects of each participant in the two workshops.  These two online exhibitions can be viewed by clicking on the images or links below.

During these two interactive, immersive, and collective ICM photography courses, 19 participants and the three mentors, from five different countries, came together to explore creative image making through connections and stories, on a journey of discovery and self-expression, in a friendly co-learning environment. 

The workshops were mentoring-based (rather than teaching-based), as participants were encouraged to discover their own unique path to creativity and storytelling through ICM photography.  The power of this course was found in mutual interaction, collaborative sharing, and immersive discussions above and beyond just technical exercises.    

Participants developed a deeper understanding of their own photographic and artistic processes through immersion, reflection, and self-expression, as they explored ways to answer questions about how they might use ICM photography to tell more meaningful stories and bridge connections to both the inner landscape of the spirit, as well as to the outer landscape of the world in which we all live. 

Using poetry, other writings, music, imagery, and concepts as prompts, these starting points guided the participants on a journey of exploration, through the creation of new ICM work, as well as through journaling during the course of the workshop, enabling them to build a meaningful personal project based around a chosen theme.
