“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.”

 

Initial Thoughts:

To me, this quote describes how beauty can be captured in places you’ve never thought to look and in ways you don’t typically look to think. I think this reinforces the idea of how there’s ‘more’ in everything when you accept theres more than one interesting thing at a time.

 

My Definition:

Abstract Photography – Photographs that tell a story beyond the main subject.
