Suggestions for Abstracts and Altered Reality

For the upcoming October competition, member Butch Mazzuca suggests the following:

Abstracts don’t follow strict photography rules, but there are several elements to keep in mind when shooting abstracts.

a. Like all compelling photos, an abstract image should have impact and a high degree of visual interest

b. Compelling abstract images should:

i. Be simple

ii. Be balanced

iii. Be proportional & cohesive

iv. Have clear structural & color design

v. Create mystery & wonder

And, as with all photos, the light should enhance the image.
