The Teachers
Morag Paterson has been exploring ICM photography for sixteen years. Her work explores the natural world, and she loves nothing more than working with abstract and impressionist imagery in her own backyard. Morag has mentored many people over the years with both practical aspects of photography, and also with developing creative vision and working collaboratively.
Kaisa Sirén is a photographic artist who brings her soul landscape visible with ICM photography, using northern sceneries of Finland as her backdrop. She focuses on themes related to the seasons of Lapland, and the sensitivity of nature. Kaisa is a co-founder of ICMPhotomag Network Community and has, since 2017, owned a gallery and art event house in Rovaniemi.
