This presentation is a little bit different in style to my other photographic presentations. It discusses why photographers should consider doing abstract work, and how this might have a spin-off into their other day-to-day photographic work. The presentation includes a discussion of what abstract art is, and whether there is truly such a thing as abstract photography. It makes comparisons between abstract art and abstract photography, and introduces a few of the great abstract photographers of the past.
I then concentrate on some suggestions about how to create your own abstract images using some simple techniques that possibly haven’t occurred to you before. This includes ideas about what to photograph and gives some examples and ideas that you can try out for yourself.
