Abstract photography has as many definitions as there are abstract
photographers. It's a notoriously difficult to pin down. Nor are there
any set rules as to what makes “good” abstract photography, even less so
than with most art. People describe “just liking” a certain photograph
without even knowing why, while others might just shrug their shoulders.
The sheer subjectivity of the form makes it even more difficult define.
Generally, abstract photography is the art of taking photographs with no particular subject or meaning. Probably the most common variety is to make one subject look like another: rust made to look like a sunbursts, folds in plastic like the aurora borealis. A common motif in abstract photography is to make the familiar, the everyday, seem as strange and foreign as a city on Alpha Centauri, or a town of Dr Seuss.
Indeed, it is argued by many that abstract photography is the most demanding form of photography due to the fantastic creative and imaginative processes that go into creating abstract photos.
