Eddy De Azevedo is a French photographer inspired by abstract colour field paintings. He creates photographic images using everyday objects like lighters, paper, book spines and fabrics. By changing the scale of objects and using uniform colors, he aims to make viewers forget the objects and focus on the colors. His work fits into the abstract photography category. He layers objects like stacked paper and fabrics in his photos, framing them perfectly within the camera frame.

2. EDDY DE AZEVEDO
Eddy De Azevedo is a French photographer who is very much inspired by
Mark Rothko and 1950s Colour Field paintings. He has created a series
of photographic images using everyday objects, such as lighters,
coloured paper, book spines and fabrics. Eddy usually categorizes his
photographs by the materials that he used: “Office” for stacked paper,
“Dressings” for fabrics, “Library” for books, and “Walking my dog” for
objects he’s found on the streets. By changing the scale of the depicted
objects, and through the uniformity of colour, the photographer seeks
to create a visual effect, where the viewer forgets about the object and
focuses on the colour instead – also one of the aspirations of Colour
Field painters. His work would come under the abstract category of
photography.

3. You can see in Eddy De Azevedo’s
photographs that he clearly uses layers
within them – for example, his stacks of
paper and fabrics. He also frames all of
his pictures into a shape, where the
objects within them are fitted into the
frame of the camera perfectly.
I personally really like his photographs
and think they are very interesting,
mostly due to the colour schemes used
and the layers that are almost always
present in them.

4. ABSTRACT PHOTOGRAPHY
There is no standard definition of abstract photography. Actually, it
is not easy to create a clear-cut definition of an abstract
concept. Abstract photography can produce very dramatic
images - it relies on our more primal sense of form, colour, and
curves than it does on detail. The problem is that most
photographers tend to think in terms of detail when evaluating
photographic opportunities. However, it takes a different way of
looking at our world to perceive the abstract photography
opportunities that surround us.
