Photography is inherently recording life as we see it. Whereas abstract is creating scenes that are not lifelike. This is how google defines it….
“Abstract photography consists of images created using photography materials and equipment that don't have an immediate association with the physical world. Abstract photographers use perspective, movement, and light to transform the world we see into an unexpected, often unrecognizable image.”
To me, abstract is about lines, shapes, curves, swirls, vortexes, grids, textures all interacting in different colours.
Immediately you include anything “lifelike” the viewer gets a reality fix…which weakens the abstract nature of the image.
I can only remember doing one such design for a tech company brochure front…annoyingly I cannot find it for the moment.
But this is another design I did for an injection moulding company. It’s more of a digital collage than an abstract design as I’ve used their product shapes rather than random created shapes. So there is inevitably a reality fix as the components are recognisable as life like objects. It was eventually used as an exhibition poster with text overlay.
