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.

To me, this means you focus on the texture in the photo rather than looking to capture an object as it is. You look for the odd and weird inside what you see everyday, revealing things from a different point of view. I think by doing so and maintaining a curious outlook on capturing the same thing there is more fun in photography.
