Description
This captured my view because for some reason it reminded me of the work of Toulouse-Lautrec.
Abstract photography is a process of using different colours and patterns combined to give an image. With no true meaning or no clear subject involved the abstract photography does not necessarily mean the same thing to everyone. It leaves more to the imagination and aids us to concentrate on texture and colour rather than the whole subject.
So how does one go about taking abstract photographs? The first thing to remember is to keep your eyes open for interesting and engaging subject matter. Whenever I shoot abstract shots, I�m always attracted to the subject matter instinctively; something about it will catch my eye and draw me in. React emotionally to the subject, consider why you were attracted to it and how it makes you feel and this will inform how you photograph it. Spend time with the subject, think outside the box and approach it in a means that you would not really approach it, from different angles and regardless of its usual purpose.
There aren�t any given camera settings to recommend as each subject and circumstance will vary greatly, but don�t be afraid to stick your camera on manual and try out different shutter speeds and f-stops in order to reveal the true potential of your subject.
