Starting Point: 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.

Initial thoughts on the unit: I am excited for this unit because I am excited to take fun abstract photos and get to use my film camera a lot.

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

My Thoughts: I think this definition is interesting because often when we see quote-on-quote abstract photos, the photo subject is very interesting.
