Abstract photography is a type of artistic expression that doesn’t rely on representing objects in the world literally. Instead, it uses various techniques, such as isolating fragments of a scene, manipulating color, light, and form, or staging objects to create an otherworldly appearance.
These techniques can be achieved through traditional photography equipment like cameras or darkrooms, or by directly manipulating film, paper, or other media. The goal of abstract photography is to create a visual image that evokes emotions, sensations, or impressions in the viewer, rather than simply depicting a recognizable subject.
