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.

This passage states that the shots will be taken “in which the subject isn’t the most interesting element”. In my initial thoughts, this sentence wants to state that the “subject” is less useful compared to the other components, such as skills applied in shooting the photo, as well as the later-on fixes and decorations. I hope that we will have the chance to learn the specific “skills” and eventually apply the skills to real life by finding interesting topics and “shooting” them down to make them even more interesting.
