Shooting abstract is a great way of teaching yourself how to find photographs where others doesn't, doing it for almost an entire summer made me a lot more aware of what goes on around me. And it's superfun to!

Notebook in hand and writing down all of your settings. I have been playing around with my camera just pointing and shooting but now I want to get stuck in. Thanks for these videos

I learned that my idea of abstract photography is quite different. I am not saying that if I got a capture which was "enhanced" by having kicked the tripod by accident, is a technique to incorporate, but some of my most unique and bizarre compositions were unplanned, but beautiful...Thanks for sharing!! I do enjoy capturing something quite ordinary in a manner which makes the observer wonder what it is. Also, I do enjoy the dynamics of what slow shutter affords in texture and perception in referencing time.

I really love these abstract photos! So many ways to photograph. What camera do you recommend for beginners?

Do you use any composition rules for this type of photography or do you use different angles to get the best shot

Don’t forget to shoot the shadows created by objects in front of them. I do this a lot. Example the bike shadow on the ground.

great - i like thesse abstract shots. this is the way i go out as well to see what no one sees

[SenorGancho]

A fun project to stimulate the mind to see opportunities. I was really captured by some of the shots as I thought they embraced the whole concept of abstract. Some of them(#9 & 10) just struck me as being shots taken by mistake :-) Lighting is key to add the dramatic element to the abstraction in addition to bringing out the magic is some of the textures(#1 & 2). Thank you I really enjoyed the 'walk along'

What a fantastic lesson. I've taken photos like this and been laught at because they don't see the art in it. Plus I try and get them to guess what it is. They can't lol. Thanks again for wonderful video.

HELP
🤔how do you put own artwork that you drawed or painted and put it on top of a photo so its all unified USING COMPUTER AND PRINTER?

[raymeedc]

EyE dew what you do, but take it a step further by utilizing post processing to further animate the the textures while leaving the composition intact 🎨

To be honest i like the ideas but not most of the photos. Abstract is definitely not only unrecognizable.

The crazy cartoon character coming into the frame is very distracting!

[kennethdarling]

the cartoon is annoying it spoils the video

[AHM-togs]

You have a very narrow understanding of "abstract" ... that it has to be an image of something "totally unrecognizable". The term "abstract" is broader than that, and there are other things that can be "abstracted" apart from the outer appearance of an object or subject.

[johanp]

With all due respect, I think your definition of abstract is incomplete and somewhat narrow. I'll pass.

Abstract Photography? Absrtact does not exist so it can not be photographed. It exists only in the mind of the artist. Call it graphical or whatever, but abstract it is not.
