Abstract Photography

What is Abstract?: An abstract photography is a photo that does not represent the subject in a literal way and communicates based on form, color, and curves rather than the image’s detail. It is also an instinctual art where people react emotionally, not logically.  Abstract photo can be shot anywhere that brings contrast to other photographs. There are essentials to abstract photographs from their form, color and curves. The form creates the core of the image while the color and curves add enhancements.

Color: Color grabs the attention of the viewer and stimulates the viewer’s perceptual system of the abstract. Other color methods that makes abstract look dynamic to use contrasting colors from the tonal of the color of a sun setting.

Curves: Curves add interest to an abstract object. It controls the eyes of the viewer the movement of the image’s curves. Curves can serve to direct the viewer’s attention to a color in the picture. Another way that gives the picture its curve is that the image can be intangible to the viewers eyes and deceive that the cures are not at the central of the picture. Instead, the picture  is flowing through the image in a graceful way.

Composition: The images of abstract images can be arranged to their respect to each other from the Rule of Third and No Rules. Rule of thirds help the image be on a divided line that helps the image comes to be an interesting sight. No Rules has no rules on taking a picture and doesn’t have a subject to point it towards anything.
