Abstract photography is a form of photography that does not attempt to represent reality in a literal way. Instead, abstract photographers use various techniques such as close-up shots, unconventional angles, selective focus, motion blur, or digital manipulation to create images that emphasize shapes, colors, lines, patterns, and textures. The resulting photographs often appear more like artistic compositions rather than recognizable objects or scenes. Abstract photography encourages viewers to interpret and appreciate images in a more subjective and imaginative manner, allowing for a wide range of interpretations and emotional responses.
