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.

The subject can be given a different look when the picture has been taken from another angle. You can, here, work on showing the subject in a way that it would not usually be seen in. It could be that this is done when you take the picture from the top or the bottom. A small object can appear large, which can, potentially, change the qualities that are most visible when it appears to be smaller.

Making a large object look smaller will, of course, be harder to achieve but, if you do, then you will find that this can go both ways. An altered perspective means that different things stand out. Texture is also something that you can play with, here, especially with distance, as well. A close-up will let you see the subject in its detail. It might no longer look like you think it should.

You might even say that it appears to be a different object, altogether, from this new view. Another thing you will probably want to take into consideration is color. This is useful as a tool as it will influence the tone and the mood of the piece and can also contribute to the focus. You can experiment, here, especially since you do not have to be realistic. For example, you could create a single mood or a contrast by setting different colors together.

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.

Maybe you would even like this to be a section of the object that would not usually get a lot of focus, and this could give it that very different appearance. This works by blurring most of the picture and giving that particular point much sharper definition. You can also use this with other things such as color. A contrasting or similar shade could be used for the background that could help manipulate the focus, further.

Shapes are also a possible instrument, here, too. Using perspective or light, you could change or warp the shape you are looking it. Contrasting shapes are another possibility, and you could work to either emphasize straight lines or curves. To take eye-catching pictures with abstract digital photography, there are a lot of interesting methods that you can use.
