Abstract photography consists of the way of composing subjects that doesn’t have an immediate associate in the physical world.

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.

My initial thoughts on abstraction is that it is a way of capturing ordinary subjects in a unique way that makes this seem more intriguing that is was before. In addition, I believe that abstract photography allows us to perceive things in daily life in ways we have thought about before.
