In terms of aesthetic, my favorite are abstract, simple, and open-ended images:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Why abstract images?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Abstract images are great because they require us to use our brain to interpret the images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, abstract images are open-ended. There is no right or wrong way to interpret them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shoot Monochrome<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first idea:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abstract photography is easier with monochrome.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Why? Fewer moving components. Fewer variables. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, monochrome is inherently abstract. We don’t see the world in monochrome! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example below observe some abstracted images I made from some of my favorite black and white images. Essentially I am trying to create a ‘visual gist<\/a>‘ of my images (the overall sense and feeling of an image, not the 100% perfect representation).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
