WHAT IS ABSTRACT PHOTOGRAPHY?Abstract photography focuses on shape, form, colour, texture and pattern. Usually, the viewer of the photograph often cannot see the whole object in the photograph and also more than likely the subject of the photograph is only a small part of the meaning of the photograph.

From the photograph (on the left) you can tell that Eddy De Azevedo uses layers in his photographs, for example with stacked paper, stacks of books. He seeks and accomplishes an effect where the viewer forgets about the objects in the photograph and focuses on the colors used instead.

From this comparison you can see that there are a lot of similaraties such as colour and composition of both photograph and painting.

MY RESPONSEFor my response to Eddy De Azevedos work I have tried to recreate some of his photographs using coloured paper, highlighters, and objects from my bag including my phone, train tickets and make-up.

MY OPINION OF MY RESPONSEI like how my responses have turned out because the collections of items I have photographed reflect the work of Azevedo creates in quite an accurate way. However if I were to do this again I would try using different objects like bottle caps or lighters like the original photographer does also using similar colors for one photograph in a similar style of the photographer.
