For our homework, we have to create an abstract book full of abstract photos we've taken out of school. I decided to focus on trying to get abstract shadows in my photos. I also thought it would look better and be more fun if I had an element of interactivity into my book.
Abstraction in Photography
Like abstract art, abstract photography concentrates on shape, form, color, pattern and texture. The viewer is often unable to see the whole object. The subject of the photo is often only a small part of the idea of the image. Viewers may only know the essence of the image subject or understand it by what is implied.
The images & the book combined should be;
What have I learnt about making an artist's photo book & the concept of abstraction?
There are many different ways that you could create a photo book. You could; order one from online, use paper or you could turn something into a book like a box that has drawers inside for example. I went with the paper option as I could then customise how big I wanted the pages or how many pages I wanted. A good app for making photo books is the free prints app. All you pay for is the postage and packaging. You can get this app on both android and Iphone.

For this homework, we had to take abstract pictures.
I like the first one the best because it focus' on just one part of the image but you can still see the rest of the background. I also quite like that the purple colour really stands out and is vibrant. I think that if I was to re take this picture, then I would probably use the flash so that the purple on the flowers in the magnifying glass to be to be more clear. My least favorite is the picture with the leaves. I dislike this picture as it came out very fuzzy and it I think it looks a little boring. Also, it doesn't have anything abstract about it. |
