Abstract & Detail Photography
a method of creating an image using colors and
pattern with the absence of its true meaning
and clear subject
Things to think about:
• subject
• lighting and shadows
• perspective or point-of-view
• focus
• shapes and patterns
• colors
• cropping
• if you can’t get close enough with the
camera… you can crop in Photoshop later
Objective:
• look at objects in detail by eliminating
backgrounds and focusing on the essence of a
subject
• study and analyze composition, lighting, focus,
shapes and patterns to create exciting and
unusual images
• break down your subjects capturing only the
details and end with images that no longer
represent the original form
