"ab•stract ( b-str kt , b str kt )
adj.Having an intellectual and affective artistic content that depends solely on intrinsic form rather than on narrative content or pictorial representation: Dictionary Definition by Farlex"

Abstract in art & photography has always been my favorite subject. I love to create story and love to imagine a scenario in doing this. This has also made my imagination eclectic and creative this is also a way of expressing one’s feelings, communication of emotions, thoughts and other values.

ABSTRACT PHOTOGRAPHY DEFINITION

There is no standard, universally accepted definition of abstract photography. Actually, it is not easy to create a clear-cut definition of an abstract concept. However, for the purposes of this series, it is necessary to create a definition in order to put some boundaries around the topic. This makes it easier to determine what falls within the domain of the subject matter. Thus, for this series, abstract photography will be defined as photography that:

•Does not represent the subject in a literal way.
•Communicates primarily through form, color, and curves rather than image detail.

The question arises, "Why bother creating abstract images?" In other words, there are a lot of other photographic opportunities out there. Why would a photographer choose to create abstract images?
There are a couple of reasons. First, abstract images can be very powerful. That in itself is all the justification that is needed. However, there is a second advantage. Abstract images can be created almost anywhere. What that means is that a photographer can create abstract images right at home and in the surrounding neighborhood. This is in contrast to other types of photography, such as landscape photography, where there is the cost in time and money to travel to specific locations to capture images.

In your own lucid mind I know for sure that everyone has their own interpretation and that is what makes me energized. No one can or will know what you really are thinking. Whether you’re feeling excited or poignant, it is also a combination of the emotional intensity and abstinence. It separates us from realization to imagination. Expressing oneself is not important, if it does effects the ambiance and makes you happy so be it. In my cognitive mind if we share the same thought; then welcome to my world! Tell me what’s in your mind? ~ Lisa SM.
