In this article I want to walk you through my process for how I created this image titled “Eternal Hanami” using multiple exposures.

During Spring Break in 2021 after a long year in 2020, my family and I were eager to hit the road for a proper family road trip. Our first stop after arriving in Moab, Utah was to check out Arches National Park. The views here exceeded my expectations.

Intentional Camera Movement is a photography technique using long exposure and camera movement to create an image with an abstract and minimalist quality. The results can be deeply personal and creative since the camera movements are difficult to duplicate from one image to another.

I remember how excited I was when I booked my flight and hotel to visit Death Valley with a group of friends in 2019. It was my first photography trip there.
