Abstract photography
Photographer and Professor of Psychology John Suler wrote an essay Photographic Psychology: Image and Psyche. In this essay, he said that an abstract photograph tookaway that which is realistic or literal, such as natural appearances and recognizable subjects in the actual world. He said there was a test: If you look at a photo and there’s a voice inside you that says 'What is it?'….Well, there you go. It’s an abstract photograph."
