Abstract photography can be defined as capturing images in which the subject isn’t the most interesting element. Albert Renger-Patzsch and Aaron Siskind photographed the ordinary to reveal their beauty. Uta Barth reversed the typical use of the camera, shooting out of focus and Andreas Gursky photographs the repetition of elements. During this unit, you will investigate appropriate examples of abstract photography and respond in your own way.

I think the subject in abstraction is less important, and does not need to be the main focus of a photograph, because abstraction, to me, is more about the feeling it evokes rather than the subject. Therefore, I believe subjectivity is more common when on the topic of abstract art, making the subject less significant.
