I think its kind of hard to answer those questions without first defining what an 'abstract' photograph is. I think theres a pretty stable defanition of abstact art and forgive me if this is just my ignorance showing through but as I understand, abstract photography isnt so concretely defined. However, I dont have any formal training in photography so please correct me if Im wrong. I know abstract art is lines, colors and shapes with a focus on the relationships between said objects, but out of curiosity, what would define an abstact photograph?
By definition the abstract is an expression apart from concrete realities or specific objects. So could that mean that any photography that represents an image differently than its actual physical representation can be called abstract?
