ABSTRACT PHOTOGRAPHY

Abstract photography, also known as conceptual, concrete, or experimental photography, is a genre that is difficult to define. Abstract photographs often use color, light, shadow, texture, shape, or form to imbue a feeling, sensation, or impression — without actually providing a representational image of the object or scene that’s being photographed.

Life is an abstract art, and it’s up to you to make sense of it.

Shots that typically fit into this genre of photography are not immediately associated with a familiar object in the viewer’s eye because they are created by isolating a particular object or natural scene in a way that removes contextual details from the image, either through framing the shot in a creative way or through image editing afterward.

Abstract photography can be intimidating to photographers because of the amount of freedom that comes with it. The rules are….well, there are no rules! You know the saying: “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”, well abstract photography is exactly what the viewer makes it, and it can hold many different interpretations, views and opinions.

Abstract photography is a style or technique that makes use of the concepts of abstraction, which is to portray the subject figuratively, rather than literally. It tries to remove recognizable details that make us immediately identify what we are seeing. It strives to deviate from realistic reproductions and focuses on creative expression instead.
