“Abstract photography can be defined as capturing images in which the subject isn’t the most interesting element.”
True “abstract photography” is presented to the audience by highlighting all areas of an image. The highlighting may include distorting other features of the photo. The emphasis on background and specific features other than the subject in a photo can inspire different interpretations for the audience. In this unit, I would like to inquire the preferred structure in abstract photography within an image, and finding true personal definition for abstract photography.
How does one structure an abstract photo?
How does one distinguish abstract photography from arbitrary art?
What subjects are there to look for?
My own definition of abstraction is objects/backgrounds within a photo including attention catching features highlighting else parts to catch one’s attention for one to come up with one’s own interpretation of the photograph.
