Be Inspired - Photographic Abstraction

Unlike other abstract art forms, it seems strange, if not impossible, for photography not to be realistic or representative – it is after all, a snapshot of a real moment. Nonetheless, the talented artists in this collection have all created abstract and conceptual photos without a paintbrush, pencil, or pastel. Simply by changing the viewpoint, photographic abstraction can defamiliarise the everyday and make mystery of the mundane.

Complex in its simplicity, by focusing on a fragment, devoid of real-world context, the subject matter, although often still recognisable, takes on a whole new association and emotion. Featuring Ash Camas’ playful urban geometry, Manjik’s fantastical architecture, and Mikael Svensson’s natural wonders, this collection proves that, with a tilt of the head (or camera), hidden beauty can be found anywhere, both in the natural and the artificial.

Let this collection allow you to see things from a new perspective, literally.
