I have spent the last year on one of Charlotte's mentoring groups, 'a year long project'. What a fantastic experience, I loved the monthly zooms, the structured and supportive teaching style too. I have thoroughly enjoyed my journey and have made some wonderful freinds along the way. Thanks so much Charlie :)

Thank you so much Tiago for your review - it has been lovely to have you in the group this year and I look forward to sharing the continued journey in 2025.

Fantastic to work with great teacher.

Charlotte is so enthusiastic and positive and is a real pleasure to work with. Her generosity with information and positivity and constructive comments make it a pleasure to work on a project under her tuition. I've done less ICM work recently, but having just rewatched the recording done last year I feel very keen to develop my ICM work again, but also to work on a couple of cohesive projects, which is the course I did with Charlie.

2023 Project Mentoring Group with Charlie

I look forward every month to meeting with Charlie and this wonderful worldwide group of people. I couldn't do this year-long project without them: they are so supportive, creative and inspirational. And Charlie is the best, guiding us just enough to keep us on track.

Photographing off the beaten track with Charlie - Tulips in Holland and so much more

1st May – 5th May 2023

A few weeks ago a group of 5 friends went to Holland to participate in a five-day, customized photography workshop organized by Charlotte Bellamy.
Some of us had already done online workshops with Charlie and were familiar with her ICM techniques so we were very excited about putting what we had learned into action.
The trip was a bonanza of tulips, windmills, canals, reflections and small, delightful villages.
Charlie arranged everything in advance including a pickup from the Amsterdam airport hotel where we stayed the night of our arrival.
The trip was a joy from beginning to end. We travelled comfortably in a minivan, with Charlie a very careful and capable driver. The hotels she chose were comfortable and well situated so we didn’t have to do too much travelling each day.
Charlie was on hand all the time to give suggestions, help and encouragement with the photography. We never felt for a moment that we were neglected. As we had all travelled together on other photo trips, we agreed that this was the very best learning and helpful experience we had ever had from a group leader.
On our final day Charlie came with us to Amsterdam and we spent the afternoon exploring areas that Charlie particularly likes, enabling us to get a feel of the city.
It was sad to say goodbye after such an amazing experience with such a giving, friendly and supportive photographer. We felt that in the five days we spent together, we had become friends.
We recommend most heartily a trip like this with a wonderful teacher.
Thank you, Charlie for making our visit to Holland so memorable.

Many many thanks for such a lovely review from you all. It was lovely to share your time here In Holland with you, and show you a little under the surface away from the tourist locations at times. Yoiu were all open to giving everything a go that I suggested with your photography, and I look forward to our follow up session on line soon. Thanks again for making the journey here, after the 2 year delay due to COVID. Charlie

Great ICM photography course

Thanks to Charlie for a comprehensive ICM course. The photo assignments encouraged us to make images of subjects we might not normally consider. I found the photo review and critiques of our and our colleagues photos to be interesting and inspirational.

Charlotte is an amazing Person and a very talented teacher.

Charlotte is an amazing and very talented teacher. she explains things in such a way that gives you permission to play and learn so much through this new freedom. She is an inspirational teacher and her work which she showed us with such generosity opens up our senses to sight, looking more carefully at things and understanding of the need to feel what we see so as to give more depth to our image making. She succeeded in giving me such an insight into the beauty of the process she teaches of ICM and Multiple images. Thank you Charlie so much . Lolaxx

Intro to ICM course

I learnt so much more about ICM from this course. Charlotte is an amazing teacher. I live in NZ and couldn't attend the live sessions but Charlotte organised one on one sessions at a time that suited me. She's very supportive and guides you to find your own ICM style. Her professional feedback on your photos is insightfull and invaluable. I highly recommend this course. It certainly turned ICM photography into an addictive passion for me.Thank you again!!!

Charlotte is really a wonderful teacher. Supportive, encouraging to find your own way. I learned so much in only three weeks about ICM. And I learned to be the artist I want to be. Thank you Charlotte. You are the person I needed to go a lot of steps forward.

I really enjoyed the ICM/Multiple Exposure course. Normally I am not that fond if homework, but the homework we get on this course is really fun and rewarding! 🤗So is the feedback on the images we submit.

Perfect Class for Learning ICM

I loved the Intro ICM class so much that I'm sorry it can't keep going! It has been a gateway to thinking about photography in a whole new way, and Charlie is an excellent instructor. She gives you all you need to get started and does it in such a positive way that the class is a joy. Plus I learned so much from getting to see the homework of other participates. I high recommend this class.

Pushing the bounderies of ICM photography

I have joined Charlotte's course on ICM photography and multiple exposure. If you want to further develop your ICM photography, this course is a strong recommendation. If you already experienced the numerous options of ICM photography, this course on ICM and multiple exposure will expand this boundary to almost limitless options.
I have learned not only from Charlotte's kind, insight-driven and inspiring reviews of the participants photos, but also from the experiences, thoughts and ideas of my fellow 'students'.

Charlotte is a wonderful teacher of creative photography techniques. She is very clear with her explanations, demonstrations and guidance and encourages you to explore and develop your own creativity with your camera. If you want to learn more about the how and why of creating images using intentional camera movement and multiple exposure I highly recommend doing a course with her!

An excellent well paced course

An excellent well paced course, with constructive and insightful feedback on all photos. I would, wholeheartedly, recommend this course both for the inexperienced and experienced ICM photographer. I have been attempting ICM’s for over a year and learnt loads on technique and style. I wish I had attended this course at the start of my ICM journey.

Reply from Charlotte Bellamy photography

Thank you so much for such a wonderful review, Malcolm. I have always found that the benefit to following any online course, which offers feedback and support, is that you can learn and build your knowledge and understanding in a more solid manner, because you can quickly identify what is working and not, and also get answers as to why and why not, rather than hoping or wondering! Continue to enjoy the ICM, I look forward to seeing more of your work. Charlie

Deep Dive into Intentional Camera Movement

This was a comprehensive (and sometimes challenging) zoom course on using the Intentional Camera Movement technique on various subjects. The group I worked with was both supportive and encouraging and Charlotte as always was a great leader and educator. Her willingness to share her expertise to help you succeed is exemplary. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend any of Charlotte's courses.

Thank you so much for your review. It was lovely to have you on the course. Some subjects are more challenging than others to photograph with ICM, but the course allowed you to try them and see - and decide what you want to explore more in the future. And I am proud of you and all the course attendees for trying, even though sometimes it was way out of your comfort zone. Maybe next time the sheep will be running xxxxx Enjoy the ICM

Fantastic introduction to ICM

Fantastic introduction to ICM and also helpful to those with some experience as learned new ideas and techniques. Charlotte explains things very clearly and is very positive when she critiques images. Very helpful to hear opinions of group members also and lovely that although only 6 of us including Charlotte we were in 5 different countries!!
I have never met a photography tutor who is so kind and generous with her time and knowledge.
Only 3 sessions but learned a lot and gained confidence. Have already booked for another course!!

Trying your hand at ICM

Would you like to have a go at ICM if so I could give no better recomendation than Charlotte Bellamy. Her courses are aimed at all levels of experience, they are friendly and very informative. You will even surprise yourself with the images you produce .
ICM is rather like marmite you either love or hate it but please keep an open mind and give it a try you might even surprse yourself
