Abstract Photography
Abstract photography, sometimes called non-objective, experimental, conceptual or concrete photography, is a means of depicting a visual image that does not have an immediate association with the object world and that has been created through the use of photographic equipment, processes or materials.
Assignment:
Look up and down for subjects that are isolated by the sky, ground, or interesting texture. When viewing a subject horizontally, use long focal lengths for a narrow angle of view. This helps to crop the image and force the viewer to look at the texture. Narrow the depth of field for selective focus by using a wide aperture, as shallow depth of field may add to the interesting subject, or object you are photographing. Open your mind to abstract photography. If you don't insist that your image be representational - recognizably something - the worlds of pure color, pattern and shape open up to you.
