Abstraction in Photography
This video is likely my favorite of the composition in photography series that we’ve done so far. It was both difficult and interesting to research and I’m excited to share a timeline of photography history with you as far as abstraction goes.
Watch and enjoy!

hii, i am watching your videos they all are best you did so much effort i guess to do that and m humble suggestion for you is you must show your name on every video so that people can remember you for your good work . 🙂
Thank you! I am concentrating Photography of Fine Art. I haven’t take photos of abstract and this is help a lot…
Nice video, thanks!
thank you
i love your channel but sometimes i get bored with all the talk about photography that can go on for minutes without hardly any imagery… i guess im inpatient but we're in visual industry and what you do here i wish i would see more / where you show an image and can keep talking but the viewer is looking at something besides you. it might make a stronger connection to the subject you're elaborating on….
Love this!!
Love your work; very educational and helpful to my rookie brain!
Great overview. Thanks!
Very well done, concise, inspirational and a good primer to various abstract work. Thank you😁:-)
Similar to avant-garde jazz. Very few listened. Play to the masses not the critics.
Jaroslav Roesler- read Yaroslav 🙂
also look for lester hayes
In my opinion, a lot of words to say that abstract is non-representational.
Insightful. Thanks for sharing.
Great video.
Thank you for this video. Still waiting for your first book… !
Apologies for the off-topic question. Did you have a small part in the recent film 'Lincoln'?
Has someone ask me if you're wearing makeup and/or lipstick.
Ted. These just keep on getting better and better. I have learned do much and continue to learn more each episode. Thanks!
Thank you for doing my research for me in 12 minutes. Would have taken me ages to find such awesome photographers!
Sorry for the typos
I'm starting think that by commenting on how I disagree with your assrsment of abstract photography I have realized that e might be on the same page.
I think a photo being "abstract" is heavily dependent upon the audiences opinion. Most of the examples given are of rather abstract techniques rather then abstract composition. Not to say that there isn't an element of abstraction in the composition. However, the reason these examples stand out is because the technique used to capture the image is abstract. Which might actually be the meaning behind abstract art. Abstract paintings are created in rather non-traditional techniques…humm?
1. I don't like the white background. Sorry to be blunt.
2. Thank you for being amazing and cool.
3. This video was awesome and very informative, super useful and I really enjoyed it.
"Basically" you're good!
Amazing presentation. It was very well put almost an art in itself!!!
Love the new style you've been adding to your latest episodes. I really like this one, it makes you think about photographic (art) movements. An episode on that (maybe a series?) would be excellent. Keep up the great work! Thank you for the show!
Thank you! So nice to hear 😉 I'm having a ton of fun making these…
Great show, can't get enough! I've learned more here then I have in the 30 years of shooting photography.
it really looks intresting, i think im gonna try it
Thanks!
Hopefully your saison "Let's talk about…" never ends! Great stuff….and thanks for sharing!
love this show!
