Define Abstract Photography:  Less about the literal definition and more about a subjective expression. A form of art that takes precedence in the form, color, line and texture within the composition to evoke stimulation.

• Abstract photography is unlike most other types of photography
• The abstract photographer uses his creative imagination to create art
• One of the most simple ways of creating an abstract image is by using water and your cameras’ shutter combined

I chose this photograph to use for my example of photojournalism because i really enjoy and appreciate the background story that goes along with it. This picture was taken during the great depression and I really like how much it shows the affect this time had on families. It is really powerful to see the worried look in the mothers face as her children cling on to her for comfort.

To replicate his sense of photography in the studio I will attempt to capture candid shots of people i choose to involve in the project.
