Abstract photography is a fascinating area of artistic creation in today?s world. Like many areas of abstract art, it can be seen in some ways as a contradictory term, as photography is necessarily a capturing of an image of the objective world, and abstraction can be defined as non-objective imagery. As with many seeming contradictions in abstract art, the resulting artworks from combining the concepts of photography and abstraction are fascinating and popular. It was not until the 20th Century that photography began to be accepted as fine art. Early art photography attempted to copy the painting styles of the times, using soft focus and other techniques to create a dreamy look and a romantic aesthetic. In direct reaction to this ?pictorialist? art movement, photographers such as the famous Ansel Adams took photographs that were in sharp focus and not in any way an imitation of any other art form, but pure photography in their own right.
Photography as art has always been controversial, as there is no agreement by the public on what art really is. By contrast, another view of art is that art is the choice of what to show, which applies to photography just as easily as painting. Fine art defined as a method (which it is to many practicing artists, while this is little understood by either the public or art promoters) can certainly be applied to photography. The fine art method consists of repetitively focusing on a particular aspect of an artwork in comparison with the objective world, thus resulting in an artwork which would not have been imagined at the start of the process. The fine art method is an exploration beyond the surface of both the visual world and of the artist themselves, and can be a profound and addictive experience in practice.
