One of the reasons I fell in love with photography in the first place is because of the endless abstract possibilities. Photography doesn't always have to remain simple, and you can still let your creativity run wild. Here are 5 simple tips for creating stunning, abstract images:
1. LAYERS- My favorite technique to ever exist! This can be done either through double exposure on the camera, or by manually editing. It really just depends on the type of photographer. It is such an effortless way to create unique beauty.
2. COMPLEMENTARY COLORING- In photography, you can still benefit by using basic art techniques that have been used in several art mediums since the beginning of time. In the image above, the model's dress was a kind of orange-yellow, so I decided to use blue accents. I also used photoshop to make all of the flowers blue.
3. PHOTOSHOP techniques, for example, the shimmer effect- If you really want to level up, you may find yourself becoming best friends with Photoshop sooner or later. Through Youtube university, you can teach yourself a vast array of skills that will effortlessly turn your images into abstract masterpieces.
4. LIGHTING- Making abstract work can really just be a means of what tools you utilize. As a person who loves color, lighting has always been a great way to directly change the color of the actual scene in front of the lens. Plus, there are numerous types of lighting. For example, the sunset light.
5. ANGLES AND CROPPING- A great way to create abstract images is to train your eye to see things in unique perspectives. This means straying away from your usual, everyday angles. The image below was shot super low close to the ground, so that I could capture a majority of the sky as the background.
