In this video, photographer Sam Gregory explores the creative world of alternative photographic techniques, looking at how stepping away from traditional approaches can open up powerful artistic and thematic possibilities.
Sam shares a selection of images created using Intentional Camera Movement (ICM), multi-exposure, macro, and long exposure techniques, discussing why each method was chosen and how these approaches influence the final visual narrative. Rather than treating technique as a technical exercise, the focus is on using these methods as deliberate creative tools to support mood, story, and expression.
A key part of the process is bringing these images to life in print. Sam examines how different photographic papers can enhance texture, depth, contrast, and colour, demonstrating how paper choice becomes an extension of the creative decision-making. From subtle fine art surfaces to more expressive finishes, a range of Fotospeed papers are tested to see how each one complements the character of the images.
Whether you’re interested in experimental photography, fine art printing, or simply looking for inspiration to push your creative boundaries, this video offers insight into making intentional choices—from camera to paper.
