The document discusses abstraction in photography from the early 20th century onward. It explores how photographers began experimenting with unusual angles, framing, lighting, and camera techniques to abstract the visual elements in a scene and find new ways of seeing the world. Many photographers were influenced by abstract expressionist painting and explored abstraction through long exposures, photograms, manipulation of focus, and more.
Many photographers and filmmakers create unusual and striking compositions to emphasise aspects of their chosen subject matter. Consider the photographs of Henri Cartier-Bresson and Alexander Rodchenko and the film work of John Ford.
Going deeper with habits of mind: Jon Nicholls - eedNET annual conference, 2015Jon Nicholls
An overview of the various strategies used by Thomas Tallis School to promote the development of Habits of Mind and engage colleagues in Action Research.
André Kertész and Bill Brandt produced images which distorted form. They explored the use of close-ups, unusual angles, light and shadow, and optical effects to create abstract images, using a variety of subject matter.
Many photographers have focused on aspects of decay that would otherwise have remained unnoticed. Mood, colour, texture and the effect of light have all been observed and recorded.
Personal possessions have provided inspiration for many photographers. Sometimes the photographs of belongings can reveal the personality and interests of the owner.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2. What is abstraction? Abstract art, like photography itself, is largely a twentieth century phenomenon. In fact, one of the reasons why artists began to experiment with abstraction is because they felt that photographs could do the job of representing the world much better than a painter. This painting by Picasso is obviously a landscape. We can see the shapes of houses and walls. But Picasso has distorted reality . The perspective is strange, almost as if he had moved around and recorded different views of the same scene in one picture. By about 1910, artists like Picasso began to look at the world in new ways, frustrated by the artistic rules that had existed in Europe since the Renaissance. They looked to non-western art and other art forms like music for their inspiration.
3. The Bauhaus This image, by the photographer Laszlo Moholy-Nagy shows the influence of abstraction. We can see what the photographer is looking at – a column of balconies jutting out from the side of a building with a person at the top looking down. However, the unusual angle , emphasis on line and form and interest in the patterns created by the architectural elements, reveals the photographer’s fascination with the abstract qualities of the scene. Moholy-Nagy worked at The Bauhaus , a radical college of art and design in Germany, which taught its students that the worlds of the artist and the designer should combine to create a new kind of modern art. Moholy-Nagy - Bauhaus Balconies , 1927

5. Living in the city The camera was a fantastic tool for capturing the experience of living in the modern city. As smaller, more lightweight cameras became available, photographers could roam the city streets, searching for unusual views , getting accustomed to the way the world looked through the viewfinder . Andre Kertesz - People and Shadows , 1928 Here, the high viewpoint and long shadows renders this group of people and animals as an almost abstract arrangement of forms. An image can have abstract properties even though its subject is recognisable. Notice how Kertesz has framed the figures in three distinct groups and retained an empty space at the top of the image. What appears to be casual is, in fact, carefully composed.
6. Camera angle Moholy-Nagy - Street paving , 1929 Leonard Freed - New York City 1956 Looking down… Looking up…
7. Light Jaromir Funke Abstract Photo 1928-9 Photography means “drawing with light”. This image exploits light’s ability to dissolve forms in a dynamic play of shadows and reflections . The original motif (subject) is no longer recognisable, hence the title of the photograph.
8. Shutter speed Harry Callahan - Chicago , 1946 This experimental photograph was created by leaving the camera shutter open for an unusually long period whilst moving the camera. Single points of light are transformed into lines and squiggles. The effect is rather like drawing with light.

10. Still life The still life has provided photographers with a rich source of abstract imagery. After all, inanimate objects can be more easily manipulated than a moving target! Florence Henri - Still Life Composition No.10 , 1928 Irving Penn - Street Findings , NY 1999
11. The Art of Noise Music is the only truly abstract art form. Visual artists, including photographers, have long been fascinated by the challenge this presents. How might a painting or a photograph aspire to be like music in the way that it affects the viewer? Arturo & Anton Giulio Bragaglia - Alchimia musicale, 1932 The Italian Futurists were fascinated by the multi- sensory experience of modern life and sought to capture this in their images. Here, the Bragaglia brothers have chosen to leave the shutter open in order to record the dynamic movements of a cello player.

13. Siskind: graphic signs "For the first time in my life, subject matter, as such, had ceased to be of primary importance," Siskind said. "Instead, I found myself involved in the relationships of these objects, so much so that these pictures turned out to be deeply moving and personal experiences." Chicago 16 , 1957 Martha’s Vineyard , 1954

15. Untitled (Motion-Sound) 1970-71 Untitled (Motion-Sound) 1974 Meatyard experimented with the more technical and formal aspects of the camera, using long exposures to record light reflecting off water, extreme focus for his “no-focus” images, and shallow depth of field for his “Zen twigs” series. The visualization of the passage of time played an important role for Meatyard in all of his photographs —from long exposures to the maturation of his children, from timeworn buildings to the changing light gracing the natural world. For one of his last series, titled “Motion-Sound,” he made pictures by moving the camera gently, creating multiple exposures of woodland scenes that suggest visual sound patterns. Motion Sound
