Abstract

 

Tony Howell 

Howell has been selling his prints and images all around the world since 1997. Based in Sumerset,

Howell is one of the finest landscape photographers in England and has over 35 years of experience as a proffessional photographer. His images have been used in calendars, books, on tv, billboards etc. He is also an author of several photography books.

This is a simple yet visually appealing image, it features the surface of a CD with several water droplets of varying sizes. The surface of the CD is covered in Blue, Purple and green tones which merge together accross it making it attractive. The water droplets have their own patterns within them, mirroring parts of the surface, adding to the beauty of the subject.

Ursula Abresch

Abresch is an art photographer based in Canada, she was born and grew up in Argentina.

                                                                        

Abresch's photographs are very colourful and vibrant, for example this image shows a close up of a feather covered in red, green and blue tones with many different shades of each, they merge together to create different hues. The use of a variety of colours within such a small item may be the photographer way of intentionaly showing that we often over look things and can find  so much more than we expect if we look closer. We can see microscopic water droplets littering the hairs, they add to the sense that the image was captured spontaneously rather than set up.

Byron Jorjorian 

Jorjorian is an art photographer, his photographs have been published on greeting cards, calendars, posters and many more. 

Jorjorian has captured a close up image of the Greening bark of a tree, the relief on the subject looks greater than it actually is, consequently the grooves look deep and well defined, none of the image looks flat. On the left hand side of the image there is a defined area of green, it pales into brown towards the top right hand side of the image. The picture is taken at an angle to be more creative rather than letting the markings run from top to bottom. Subjectively, the photographer could be using the Green fungus growing on the bark to represent how external factors and environment can have an effect on people over time, no matter how strong they appear.

My attempt at abstract photography

I took some of these photographs in school when we were practising abstract photography but some of the others are from when I've experimemted out and about.

For these photographs I was trying to recreate Tony Howells images. I experimeted with angles and brightness.

For these photos I was trying to use Jorjorians style and recreate some of his images.
