The beauty of monochrome, blur, grit, and surreal\/abstract photography \u00e2\u20ac\u201d that it looks different from reality?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Abstract beauty <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I thought about this when studying the work of RICHARD AVEDON<\/a>. I believe his most successful photos are the ones which the photos look abstracted from reality yet still do with the human form. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why I think photography with flash is so successful as well \u00e2\u20ac\u201d the ability to create a NEW reality through photography. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why photography as an art creation medium is interesting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can we make picture perfectly accurate photos of reality, yet make it look abstract and surreal?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
