Abstract photography

Sometimes called conceptual or concrete photography, it is meant by depicting a visual image that does not have an immediate association with the object world and that has been created through the use of photographic equipment, processes or materials.

Exploring Colour

I used colour to create abstract shapes. I adapted and edited the images to make the colours bolder because I thought they look dull and could be adapted more and could be made more interesting and visually pleasing. These are my original edits and then the more interesting edits.

I used Photoshop to create these edits. Firstly, I cut out the circular shape using the ‘elliptical marquee tool’ where I then cut out a circle from one of my chosen images. Once I had cut out a circle I pasted it onto a new document where I made a collage of four. I wasn’t happy with the final outcome so I decided to change the vibrancy of the image to it being very high and then used the paint bucket tool to fill the coloured areas in with a bolder colour. I made a collage of nine in a new document as I wanted to show of more of my edits.
