Artist: Aaron Siskind

He can be classified as an Abstract Artist because he emphasizes overall composition and texture in his photographs rather than focusing on specific objects. By using black and white filters, he highlights tonal contrasts, effectively showcasing elements like line, shape, and texture.

I deeply appreciate his unique ability to capture the essence of everyday objects and the serenity of nature. His work transforms mundane items into subjects of fascination, urging viewers to find the extraordinary in the ordinary. Whether revealing intricate details of common household objects or capturing the subtle interplay of light on a leaf, he showcases the hidden beauty that surrounds us in our daily lives.

The reason I chose this photo is because the line element is featured in the photo beyond the texture and the point of view, which amplifies the difference in texture. I will try to use his technique of highlighting the other elements by highlighting the presence of the line.
