The movements of

photography

Abstract

Abstract photography is a long process of using various

colours and patterns combining to create an image with no

meaning or clear single explanation involved. Abstract

photography is also art which has a different meaning to

everyone else.

Paul Strand

Paul strand was an abstract photographer until his

death in 1976 one of his most famous works was his

porch shadows which was a variety of shadows

crossing over each other making strange patterns.

Paul Strand has the same kind of style as Otto

Steinert but they have two very different styles Otto

takes pictures of faces and people in many different

poses and forms were as Paul Strand works with

shadows and inanimate objects and shadows.

Otto Steinert

He was a photographer until his death in 1978 he was

an abstract artist and has made a few pieces his most

famous is pedestrian footprints a simple floor with what

seems to be a blank floor with a few footsteps. He has

the same idea as Paul strand although they both work

with two very different things such as Otto uses people

and locations and Paul uses shadows and inanimate

objects.

photographic style characterized by sharp focused and

carefully framed images seen through a viewpoint. One of

and even when he had access to colour

cameras he still preferred black and

white pictures and he thought they were

compared to Edward Weston as Ansel

does nature and Edward varies from

adult images to nature.

different to Ansel as Ansel’s photographs are

pretty much all nature based and Edward does

many different styles.
