Freeman Patterson - ICM and wild places

I have been racking my brain for over a year trying to remember the name of the photographer that I first saw using intentional camera movement (ICM) and digital multiple exposures.

Freeman Wilford Patterson CM ONB (born September 25, 1937) is a Canadian nature photographer and writer. https://en.wikipedia.org

Back around 2004 I first came across his work and was impressed by the quiet eloquence of his imagery. With the interest in ICM, minimalism, and unique perspectives on nature photography here at NPN I thought his work would be of great interest.

Thanks for sharing this, @Guy_Manning. I met Freeman at a NANPA conference several years ago. He was a gracious enough to sign a few of the books of his, that I had. His book “The Garden” is one of my favorites. He’s a wonderful person and a very creative photographer. I’m not surprised that he’s gotten into ICM and minimalism lately.

Thanks again for sharing.

Cheers,
David
