Discover the Magic of Impressionist Photography Techniques II
I’m excited to introduce you to my newest creation: Impressionist Photography Techniques II—a heartfelt continuation of my artistic journey and an invitation for you to deepen your own.
This book isn’t just about taking pictures—it’s about seeing differently. It’s about capturing not just what the world looks like, but what it feels like. Full of beauty, emotion, and poetry, Impressionist Photography Techniques II helps you translate fleeting moments into visual stories that speak from the heart.
What is Impressionist Photography?
Impressionist photography is the art of painting with your camera. It celebrates motion, light, texture, and colour—embracing imperfection and intuition to create imagery that feels alive. It’s about bending rules, chasing light, and letting your artistic voice shine.
In this new volume, I guide you through a range of playful, in-camera techniques that turn ordinary scenes into extraordinary visual experiences. Whether you’re photographing the shimmer of water, the movement of trees in the wind, or blossoms dancing in the sunlight, this book will help you transform your creative vision into expressive, painterly photographs.
Inside the Book: A Closer Look
Impressionist Photography Techniques II builds upon the foundation of my first book, offering even more depth and inspiration. Each chapter introduces a distinct technique—presented with clear, step-by-step instructions and richly illustrated with real-world examples.
Some of the core techniques include:
Intentional Camera Movement (ICM)
Use your camera like a paintbrush to create flowing, dreamlike effects. A gentle motion transforms a simple landscape into something poetic and mysterious.
Multiple Exposure
Layer different frames directly in-camera to tell layered, emotional stories. This technique allows you to blend shapes, textures, and colours into abstract, evocative compositions—perfect for florals, reflections, and landscapes.
Creative Lens Techniques with Lensbaby
Add a whimsical, expressive blur that highlights your subject while infusing your image with mood and energy.
️ De-focusing for Atmosphere
Intentionally blur your scene to capture mood over detail. This simple yet powerful technique evokes a softness that feels almost like a memory.
Each method includes not just how-to guidance, but also creative prompts and visual inspiration to help you make the technique your own.
Behind the Scenes: Where Magic Meets Practice
Many of the images featured in the book were captured in spontaneous, serendipitous moments—early mornings by the lake, breezy afternoons in the garden, golden hour walks along the shoreline.
Take, for instance, Whispers of the Evening Tide. It looks calm and poetic, but in truth, the wind was wild, and I took several exposures before I caught that one perfect interplay of light and motion. That’s the essence of this photography—it asks for patience and offers wonder in return.
In another chapter, Chasing Light in a Droplet, I spent hours watching the way sunlight refracted through tiny beads of water on moss. The magic was in the stillness and the waiting. When the moment came—it was unforgettable.
