Photo Shoot #1 - AbstractionBefore we delve into the abstract photography part, let’s first look at the word ‘Abstract’ and what it actually means. Abstract means something that is ‘non-representational’, to put it another way, it means it doesn’t directly look like what it is.
Abstract photography is based on the photographers eye. Looking for the details, the patterns, the lines, the form, shape and colors that complete a subject and utilizing those key features to make an engaging image. An abstract photograph is a picture of something that doesn’t represent what it actually is.
