Abstraction
A photograph is abstract when it's hard to tell what the subject is.
I think the photographer was interested in shadow because it has light and dark. My title would be 'Shadows'. If I had to make a photograph like this I would look for shadows and shapes. I would use a DSLR and I would take a picture of closer things. The best things about this photograph are the shapes and also the shadows look good.

The Formal Elements
Focus:
Light: Line: Repetition: Shape: Space: Texture: Tones: |
Which areas appear clearest or sharpest in the photograph? Which do not?
Which areas of the photograph are brightest? Are there any shadows? Does the photograph allow you to guess the time of day? Is the light natural or artificial? Harsh or soft? Reflected or direct? Are there objects in the photograph that act as lines? Are they straight, curvy, thin, thick? Do the lines create direction in the photograph? Do they outline? Do the lines show movement or energy? Are there any objects, shapes or lines which repeat and create a pattern? Do you see geometric (straight edged) or organic (curvy) shapes? Which are they? Is there depth to the photograph or does it seem shallow? What creates this appearance? Are there important negative (empty) spaces in addition to positive (solid) spaces? Is there depth created by spatial illusions i.e. perspective? If you could touch the surface of the photograph how would it feel? How do the objects in the picture look like they would feel? Is there a range of tones from dark to light? Where is the darkest value? Where is the lightest? |
Photo Shoot
Light and Shape.
I focused on light and shape. The photos below are sharp, clear and not blurry. I laid the paper out in a variety of different positions and this created different shapes in them. Next time I would like to try them in colour but also more shapes like circles, squares and triangles. I also will choose only one type of shape as most of my photos looked like they had good shapes in.
