One of the most complex and challenging genres in photography is, without a doubt, abstract photography. And the main reason behind such complexity is because most people try to approach it without understanding exactly what is abstract and what is not.
As a solid starting point, we can say that abstractionism is not minimalism. Abstract photography has more to do with resembling the essence of something without revealing it, and minimalism is about reducing the elements until achieving that sweet spot in which the photograph is still meaningful and aesthetic.
Today we want to share with you some links that will help you out with understanding abstract photography a little bit better, so you can use it as a creative way of expressing your ideas through photography.
