Is This Technical Intensive for You?
This one-to-one technical intensive is designed for ICM photographers who want to go deeper into Long Exposure Travelling ICM and develop greater control, consistency, rhythm and precision in their movement-based practice.
It is not a general ICM course and not a single online tuition session. It is an 8-week technical programme focused entirely on my Long Exposure Travelling ICM method, structured around 4 core techniques, with approximately two weeks devoted to each one.
The aim is not to collect movements quickly, but to understand, practise, repeat and refine each technique with real control.
In simple terms, this intensive helps you:
• understand Long Exposure Travelling ICM as a physical and spatial method;
• move beyond simple camera gestures from a fixed position;
• practise long exposure through body movement, displacement, timing and rhythm;
• improve control over focus, distance, trajectory, stability and exposure;
• recognise why certain attempts work and why others fail;
• develop a more repeatable and intentional technical practice.
Format
8 weeks, 4 core techniques, approximately 2 weeks per technique.
Each technique block includes written technical material, visual examples, demonstration videos, practical exercises, practice sheets and individual feedback through Google Drive.
This is a sustained asynchronous one-to-one process: you have time to practise, repeat, compare results, ask questions, receive feedback and refine your movement progressively rather than depending on a single live session.

1. Intro / Hero Text
This is a one-to-one, 8-week technical intensive focused entirely on Long Exposure Travelling ICM. While the full mentorship in Allegorical Abstractionism introduces only the foundational technique as part of a broader artistic programme, this intensive expands the technical side of the method through 4 core techniques, with two weeks devoted to each one.
It is designed for photographers who want to understand Long Exposure Travelling ICM in greater depth and practise it with more control, clarity and consistency. The programme combines technical guidance, demonstration videos, practical exercises and individual feedback throughout the process.
The aim is not to collect movements quickly, but to understand, repeat, refine and integrate each technique with real control.
2. Long Exposure Travelling ICM
This programme is built around Long Exposure Travelling ICM, my own technical approach to long-exposure image-making. Instead of relying on simple camera gestures from a fixed point, this method is based on physical movement through the scene during the exposure, combining displacement, focus, timing, rhythm and bodily control.
The aim is not to produce random blur, but to develop a more structured and repeatable technical practice. Through 4 core techniques, the participant learns how movement, duration, spatial progression and visual structure can work together inside a long exposure.
3. Not a Typical Mentorship
This is not a general artistic mentorship and not a conventional ICM course. It is a focused technical intensive for photographers who want to explore Long Exposure Travelling ICM with greater depth, precision and consistency.
Rather than treating technique as a set of isolated effects, the programme approaches it as a structured method in which movement, focus, duration, bodily control and spatial progression must work together.
The aim is not simply to create more visually impressive images, but to understand the internal logic of the method and practise it with greater control and repeatability.
4. Program Format
The programme is offered in a one-to-one asynchronous format, designed to provide a focused and personalised technical learning process. It is structured around 4 core techniques, with approximately two weeks devoted to each technique.
Each technique block includes written technical material, visual examples from my own work, demonstration videos and practical exercises designed to help the participant understand, practise and refine the method with greater control.
The artist then submits images, notes or work in progress, and receives individual feedback focused on movement, focus, timing, consistency, transition, rhythm and technical correction.
The programme is not based on live teaching sessions, but on a sustained exchange through Google Drive. Each stage develops through written guidance, practical work, demonstration videos, annotated examples and shared working documents. Although the structure is clear, the programme remains flexible and adapts to the pace, level and technical development of each artist.
5. What the Program Includes
The programme includes 4 technical modules, each lasting approximately two weeks and centred on one core Long Exposure Travelling ICM technique.
Throughout the 8 weeks, the participant receives:
- written technical guidance for each technique
- demonstration videos
- annotated examples from my own work
- practical exercises
- practice sheets to record attempts and technical observations
- individual feedback on submitted images and progress
- ongoing technical guidance throughout the process
Rather than offering generic lessons or isolated corrections, the programme is designed as a sustained one-to-one technical training, helping the artist understand the method more deeply and practise it with greater control, consistency and awareness.
6. The 4 Modules
The programme is structured around 4 core Long Exposure Travelling ICM techniques.
Each module lasts approximately two weeks. This slower rhythm allows the participant to understand the technique, practise it, make mistakes, repeat the movement, compare results and receive feedback before moving on to the next stage.
The aim is not simply to introduce a list of movements, but to develop a more precise and consistent command of the method through practice, repetition, correction and technical refinement.
7. What You Receive in Each Module
Each module is built as a practical working block, not simply as a lesson to read.
Every module includes a combination of technical explanation, visual examples, demonstration material, practical exercises and individual feedback. The aim is to help you understand not only what to do, but why each attempt works or fails.
In each module, you receive:
Technical guidance
Written material explaining the logic of the technique, including movement, exposure time, body position, trajectory, focus, distance, rhythm and stability.
Visual examples
Selected examples from my own work, used to show how Long Exposure Travelling ICM can create structure, direction, tension, transition and visual rhythm inside a long exposure.
Demonstration videos
Short practical videos showing how the movement is performed, how the body moves through the scene, and how timing, direction and camera position affect the final image.
Practical exercises
Specific assignments designed to help you practise the technique step by step, repeat the movement, compare results and develop greater consistency.
Practice sheets
Working sheets where you record the technical conditions of each attempt: shutter speed, aperture, filters, focus, distance, movement type, trajectory, subject, problems and observations.
Individual feedback
After completing the exercises, you upload your images, notes or work in progress through Google Drive. I respond with individual feedback focused on movement, timing, focus, stability, exposure, rhythm, transition and technical correction.
Personal adjustment
Although the structure of each module is clear, the process can be adapted to your level, your questions and the kind of subjects you are working with. The aim is not to follow a rigid formula, but to help you develop more controlled, repeatable and intentional movement-based images.
The process is mainly asynchronous and works through Google Drive and email. This allows time to practise, repeat, compare, correct and refine each technique progressively, while preserving the personal one-to-one nature of the programme.
8. Who This Is For
This programme is intended for photographers already working with ICM, long exposure, abstraction or expressive photography who want to develop a more advanced technical command of movement-based image-making. It is also a natural continuation for participants who have already completed the full mentorship in Allegorical Abstractionism.
As such, it functions as a natural continuation of the general programme, expanding its technical core into a more advanced practical training.
At the same time, it is also open to photographers who may not be seeking the full artistic mentorship, but who want to enrich their ICM practice, refine their technical control and learn Long Exposure Travelling ICM through a more focused one-to-one process.
It is particularly suited to artists already working with ICM, long exposure, abstraction or expressive photography, and who now want to move toward a more advanced, varied and consistent technical command of the medium.
This is not a general photography course, but a technical specialisation for photographers who want to deepen, extend and practise Long Exposure Travelling ICM with greater precision, control and consistency.
9. Pricing
The programme is offered in two different formats, depending on whether the participant has already completed the full mentorship in Allegorical Abstractionism.
For participants who have already completed the full mentorship
650€ upfront
or
Two-part payment: 375€ + 375€
This price is intended for former participants of the general programme who wish to deepen the technical side of Long Exposure Travelling ICM through a more specialised one-to-one process.
For new participants
825€ upfront
or
Two-part payment: 450€ + 450€
This price applies to photographers entering the programme directly, without having completed the full mentorship beforehand.
This difference reflects the fact that the general mentorship already introduces the broader artistic framework and the first technical foundations of the method. For that reason, this technical intensive functions as a natural continuation for former participants, while remaining open as a more advanced standalone programme for others.
