Project 4 Pre-work: Depth of Field and Abstraction

Abstraction

Abstraction is dealing with more conceptual ideas than specific events. It can also be freedom from representational qualities in art. Abstract photography seeks to break away from traditional representation of physical objects. It explores the relationships of forms and colors.

In these two images, I think the photographer did use depth of field to help with the abstract quality of the image. In the first photograph, the focus is on the forks in the water and the background is out of focus. In the second photograph the swirls of color are the focus. The swirls look like smoke although it is hard to tell. It is more a picture of a shape and color than a discernible, physical, object.
