What is Abstract Photography?

Abstraction isn't a form of art that many consider to be aesthetically pleasing. However, abstraction is loose and highly expressive of the artist's emotions and feelings at the time of creating the piece.


Much like abstract art, abstract photography is expression in it's rawest form.


It is sometimes described as experimental or conceptual photography, and like abstract art, does not have a direct association with the 'object' world. This means that often, form is not depicted in the same way that it would be in more traditional forms of photography.


To me, abstract photography allows me to express my thoughts and feelings with something as raw and direct as a photograph, and though this may not mean anything to anybody else, to me, it allows me to say how I feel without using words.
