Often people will say they just do not get abstract art when it is a painting. Abstract photography on the other hand has an entirely different effect on the audience. It almost has a magnetic challenge to the mind to figure out what it is.

Or upon knowing what it is, being able to wrap the brain around the image of the photograph becomes the challenge.

Abstract Art Photography Form

Abstract photography can take several forms. The most common forms are...

* The abstraction of the subject matter
* Abstraction of a part of the photo or within the photo
* These can also be manipulated into colorful art abstractions

The Abstraction of the Subject Matter

This involves seeing beyond the reality to see abstractions of photographic subject matter.

Abstraction of a Part of the Whole

Abstractions in photography can also include a part of the whole that in and of its self has some intrensic artistic value. This requires stripping off other aspects of the photo.

Abstractions Within the Photo

It can include seeing things in the photograph that are not necessaraly the substance of the photograph. It could be analogous to seeing images in clouds. These images are visible in the art of the photograph.

Abstract phographic art is indeed a unique form of abstract art. It can be colorful, bright or dark and mysterious. It can move people. It has power.
