Subject – ‘Everyday Objects as Abstract.’

Abstract photography is a style of photography that uses photography equipment to create images that are not immediately associated with the physical world. Abstract photographs can be created by: 

• Staging a scene to make it seem unreal  
• Using color, light, shadow, texture, shape, and form to convey a feeling  
• Removing or changing the viewer’s perception of a scene  
• Using different techniques to represent the world with lines, shapes, form, marks, and colors  
• Using intentional camera movement  
• Using low light or an ND filter to show movement  
• Using defective optics  
• Placing transparent obstacles in front of the lens
