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.
