Text and picture by Eki Qushay Akhwan
The title of my post today is "FOUR". Obviously this refers to the number of lamp posts in the photo.
Although the lamp posts are the point of interest of this photo, the whole composition would not have been visually as attractive as it is if it were not for the backdrop of the amber and bluish colors of the evening sky. Therefore, I think it is basically the evening sky that works the magic in this photo. All this said, welcome to my first Skywatch Friday post and participation.
What is Abstract Photography?
Abstract photography is a genre of photography that focuses on the artistic value of a photograph regardless of the subject, composition, and/or other rules that are usually associated with a "good photograph". In other words, in abstract photography, the subject, the rules of composition, etc. are not as important as the beauty or the aesthetic values of the photograph itself.
With no definite subjects and with openly interpretable meanings of the visual, abstract photography relies mostly on the imaginary values of the visual elements such as colors, textures, etc., to achieve the aesthetic visual impacts.
This is my understanding of what abstract photography is.
It really IS beautiful, especially after you explain about abstract.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your sky and we enjoy your coming into Sky Watch. Welcome, Eki!
I happen to love abstract photography and appreciate how the visual of abstract changes the perspective to see another way. I create a lot of abstracts in photograpy and from photography. Enjoyed your photo and writing. Thank you for stopping by S&S Photography. Happy SWF!

ReplyDeleteI think this is a lovely photo to celebrate your first skywatch. The way the colours fade into each other is stunning and thanks for the text. I like the idea of a photothat's judged on its esthetic appeal.

ReplyDeleteCe qui m'étonne dans cette photo, c'est la position des lampadaires, que je m'attendais à trouver "alignés"

ReplyDeleteYour understanding and explanation are perfect. One of my first skywatch posts was like this, lamposts receeding against a pink sky. This is such a beautiful image incorporating
ReplyDeletesuch everyday objects against a dramatic sky. It challenges us to see the beauty in everything.

I love the graduated layers of color in this photo.
