My Definition of Abstract Photography would be an intentional difference to typical photographs that have a clear sense of what has been done differently and what the subject and point of the photo are.  This includes altering the focus, and lighting, as well as the art elements of line shape and color, or choosing a specific subject and configuring it to a separate meaning than what the general opinion is.

“Abstract photography can be defined as capturing images in which the subject isn’t the most interesting element”

I think that abstract photography is sometimes used as an excuse to create unappealing or other forms of “wrong” photos. However I think that it can also be used to create new interesting types of photos and shed new light on old subjects. Creating different perspectives and new conversations.

Yet, I am also not the most familiar with abstract photography, and wonder…

Is it related to modern art?
