Intentional Camera Movement or ICM; is an artistic way of expression in approach to photography. ICM removes the details to reach deeper into the essence of the scene. The subject is not what we see but what we imagine and feel, creating space for the viewer to fill in the gaps, use their imagination, and form their own story.

“The water in the pond inside my heart doesn’t shine anymore. It has turned dark. Every ghost from my mind breaks all the barriers and take a dip there, making it darker. and every time it happens, my soul in the pond cries with pain.” – Akshay Vasu
