In the past, many of Jan Lighfoot’s photographic images reflected a long association with classic and traditional compositions with an emphasis on nature. However, over the past two years, her work with Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) has become more than just another genre of photography. It has become synonymous with delight, surprises, and visual wonder. ICM involves using slower shutter speeds to introduce intentional blur and/or movement into the image. The results are like snowflakes; each one is uniquely different and will never be duplicated. Lightfoot works with ICM in a way that has become almost unconscious and intuitive. It has become a continuous journey of exploration and never a destination to be conquered. Lightfoot likes to think of ICM as the sum of energy, light, motion, balance, contrast, colors, and simplicity. She believes the mystery of an ICM image is reflected in the movement. Her intent is to invite the viewer to consider its uniqueness and its place in time and space. The stories are there, captured in that moment of time, which is neither here nor there. One can only imagine.
