Tips On Abstract Digital Photography

By Angela Briggs


In this digital age, there are a lot more opportunities to create an interesting photograph than there were, before. Obviously, a digital camera means that it is much easier to take vacation pictures and holiday pictures. However, abstract digital photography is something that is easier to explore than ever before.

You can make a unique, interesting photography by using different methods and tricks. Something that might usually be ordinary and boring can be experimented with in different ways to bring some fascination to the result. Perspective, to begin with, is one of these ways that you can use.

Take a picture from a different angle than you might usually to give the subject a very different look. The goal here, perhaps, is to bring out something in the subject that usually would not be seen. Perhaps you show something new by taking a photo from the bottom or the top. Something small appears to be large, and this can drastically alter the factors that are most apparent when you are viewing it as you usually would.

The inverse can also be true, of course, although this is, possibly, much harder to do. Different perspectives mean that different things come into view. Texture in conjunction with distance is another thing that you can look at. The small detail is visible with a close-up, of course. One of the most fascinating things, here, is that it will eventually stop resembling itself as you are used to.

Through this new view, it is almost a different object, entirely. Color is another thing that you can play with, as well. Color is a useful tool because it can be used to create mood and tone, and to play with the focus. You do not have to adhere to realism, here, of course, so you are free to experiment. Try matching different tones to create one particular mood or a contrast.

Another thing you could try is displaying things in a color that you would not usually see them in. This may alter how these things appear very drastically. Selective focus is something else to look at and this, of course, is very specific to photography. Using selective focus, you can narrow in on a particular part of the subject.

You could take things one step further by having the focal point be something that you would not usually focus on, which would create a very different appearance, instead. This focal point is given sharp definition while everything else is left blurry. Color and things can also be applied here, too. Perhaps you could use a different shade for the background, which adds to where you want the focus to be.

Use of shapes, too, can be instrumental, here. The shape of the object itself can be warped or changed in appearance due to perspective or light. You could also use contrasting shapes depending on whether you want to highlight curves or straight lines. There are lots of good techniques you can use to create interesting pictures with abstract digital photography.
