Abstract Experimentation///color

After my brief shoot on breaking the photographic rule of audience, I really wanted to explore abstraction and color. I did this by taking close up shots of front covers of LP records I had in my bedroom. Many of these were records from the 70’s this meant bright colors. I also took close ups of other colorful objects I found in my bedroom. Having these photos out of focus turned them into solid colors and in most cases showing no texture. It resembles another form of color field painting I studied previously. I selected colors carefully as I wanted them to complement each other. The helpful thing with using records is that the artist or record company probably would already chosen those colors as they work together. This meant all I had to do was to take these photos at the right angle capturing the right colors in the frame. This is just a small start to what I want to do in my project.
