1. Article 4: Thomasschoeller.photography BASICS OF ABSTRACT PHOTOGRAPHY Abstract photography and abstract art are very famous as it involves a trade of billions of dollars over a century. Any art gallery, exhibitions, and photography events are actually incomplete without a section on this form of illustration. Every year, thousands of photographers and art students follow abstract photography courses all over the world. They try to vent their ideas and thoughts in the form of their own interpretation. In actual fact, abstract photography is a direct outcome of the former abstract art that was made popular by many noted artists. In earlier times, nearly every person at some point in time has had a knack for this genre of photography, has appreciated or collected abstract photographs. What is abstract photography actually and is it the same as Abstract Art? As the name suggests abstract, it denotes what can be understood but not seen. This art form has been debated many times, yet it is complex and difficult to understand. However, it fascinates a horde of art critics and art collectors from every part of the sphere. Several interpretations may give rise to abstract painting. Similarly, abstract photography pulls the same kind of popularity except the fact that it is done with a camera and not with brush and paint. The exact definition of this art is intricate, but it is sufficient to understand that there are no rules or norms for creating. In layman terms "anything goes" as long as it appeals to the eye. This photography can be used to nearly any event in a very subtle manner such as the drop of water splattering in a pool to looks like a crown or a piece of the hemp rope at close quarters that looks like a striated bunch. The composition is immaterial; it is the only way a scene can be captured on film. The interpretation may perhaps come later. How is abstract photography carried out? It is essential to have a professional high-speed camera and also a special high-speed film. The best outcome can be obtained with a black and white film and many priceless photographs are of this monochrome variety. The following characteristics that need to be kept in mind: • Perfect knowledge of conventional photograph principles • Complete understanding of the shutter speed, aperture and focusing • Familiarity with the film speed and photograph lighting effects • Information of Telephoto lenses and close-up lenses is a must
