1. Abstracts & Details Photography
a method of creating an image using colors and
pattern with the absence of its true meaning
and clear subject
2. Things to think about:
• subject
• lighting and shadows
• perspective or point-of-view
• focus
• shapes and patterns
• colors
• cropping
• compositional tools
• if you can’t get close enough with the
camera… you can crop in Photoshop later
