Art & Journalism Photography

Art photography or Abstract photography is the one where photographers express their ideas and emotions with elements without the intention of creating a realistic image. Art photography is more about the experiment and exploration of the various perspectives of anything. Art portraits are not bound to look real but can also use natural elements to display emotions, feelings, and sentiments. Abstract photography is often left to interpretation and can mean different things to different individuals. There are no limits to what you can capture and most artists, critics, and photographers have tried and failed while attempting to define abstract photography. Even the skills and techniques for capturing art is not defined. One can simply use traditional photography techniques or possibly manipulate photographic media. The more you experiment, the more you learn about this stream of photography. Abstraction, once understood, the process involves subtraction of unnecessary elements. Abstract images trigger emotions and imaginations of an observer by including mysterious elements. Henceforth, abstract art leaves viewers wondering. Harmony, light balance, creativity, simplicity and composition of elements are few factors which enhance the Abstract art. Some of the earliest examples of abstract photography appeared in the first decade of the invention of ‘craft’ in the 19th century but since then a lot has changed in this niche. After the invention of computers and new technology in the field of visuals, there are now no limits to the boundaries of abstract photography. Some artists now create purely computer-generated work and it is equally effective.
