WHAT IS ABSTRACT PHOTOGRAPHY?
Abstract photography focuses on shape, form, color, 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.
Eddy De Azevedo is a French photographer who is inspired by Mark Rothko and 1950s color field paintings. Azevedo uses everyday materials such as fabrics, broken lighters, bottle caps, books and paper to his photographs. The way that Eddy De Azevedo frames his pictures (he puts his collections of objects into a shape that perfectly fits the frame of the camera. He uses ‘Office’ for paper, ‘Dressing’ for fabric and ‘Walking my Dog’ for objects that he has collected whilst taking his dog out for a walk.
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.
