Kaisa Siren: a deeper look into ICM photography
Kaisa Siren is a photojournalist, gallery owner and nature photographer, known for her mastery of colour in her photographs, whilst capturing the wilderness of Lapland. She chats with Margaret about the concepts and ideas behind her ICM photography.In contrast to the documentary-type work of her day job, Kaisa finds her passion for colourful ICM fascinating and liberating - beautiful work which is almost fully abstract. Kaisa shares some childhood memories which have unconsciously shaped her photography. Whilst she is now at the stage of accepting, and liking, her own work she describes the time and effort this has taken.Kaisa also reflects about the increasing interest in ICM. Is it that people have wanted a change / to push the boundaries from traditional photography that created an interest in other forms of photography? Cameras, techniques and on-line tutorials are also more accessible? In terms of explaining ICM, Kaisa feels there is more expression, more depth, more mood and freedom which comes into making these images - it connects with your true emotions.Don't miss this really interesting talk - Kaisa describes beautifully the influences that have affected her both personally and artistically and how she now considers them a positive.https://www.instagram.com/kaisasirenphotography/Sign up to the next Creative Light Festival here: https://creative-light.co.uk/ Sign up to my newsletter to hear first about new retreats: Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/margaretsoraya/ Join my online Creative Haven community :https://creative-haven.newzenler.com
