JANUARY FEATURED PRINT OF THE MONTH
Kate Barclay LRPS
Kate is a landscape and ICM photographer originally from New Zealand but now living in the United Kingdom. She studied to become a costume designer and worked in theatre, film and Television for many years.
Kate transferred her artistic talent to photography 20 years ago. First as a landscape photographer because of her love of the great outdoors, and then more recently as an abstract ICM photographer.
ICM (intentional camera movement) is a photographic technique where a photographer purposely moves the camera during a long exposure creating intentional blur, giving one a feeling of freedom and creativity in ones photography. Kate moved to more abstract imagery because she wanted to create images that had atmosphere, freedom, flow and abstraction. She wanted them to invoke thought and discussion, she wanted to liberate the viewer from any preconceived assumptions about what they were seeing. This might be lot to ask of an image – but she feels that ICM gave her the freedom to do this.
Kate transforms ordinary scenes, be they landscapes, seascapes, street scenes or woodland scenes, into captivating visual experiences by simply moving her camera in various ways during a single exposure. Her work is characterised by vibrant colours (but also black and white), intriguing compositions and a distinctive play of light and shadow.
Kate’s photography has the ability to capture the essence of the subject in an abstract form evoking a sense of mystery and emotion. Kate’s work has been published in many magazines both digital and paper over the years and runs workshops in ICM photography

Who doesn’t love being by the sea?
I live in Gloucestershire but never feel more relaxed and fulfilled than when I spend time at the coast, exploring with my camera. My love is nature photography - especially coastal scenes, close ups and abstracts.
This image was from my recent, first ever visit to the Isle of Harris, which was also my first visit to Scotland. I joined an ICM workshop (with My Beautiful Scotland) and was met with this wonderful scene exhibiting amazing colours and light in the early morning. The pale sand and turquoise sea were beautiful. Using ICM I could distill the essence of the cool, calm atmosphere into this image.
I have been Shortlisted with three images in Close Up Photographer of the Year (CUPOTY 7 - 2025), a Runner Up in London Camera Exchange Photographer of the Year 2025, and also Shortlisted with two images in 2026. I have been published in Amateur Photographer and Outdoor Photography magazines.
