   Abstract photography is a style of photography where the image doesn't represent a clear, recognizable subject or scene. Instead, it focuses on shapes, colors, textures, and patterns to evoke emotions or ideas without a literal interpretation. It’s about capturing the essence of something, often leaving the viewer to interpret the image in their own way.

   For example, an abstract photo might show close-up shots of water droplets, a blurred motion of something, or the play of light and shadow that doesn't directly show what the light is reflecting on. The goal is often to create an image that invites the viewer to experience it more emotionally or instinctively, rather than just recognizing a specific object or scene.

Photograph:

• Set up the cd near bright light

• Make sure there is nothing distracting in the background

• Spray water with a spray bottle onto the CD

• Zoom in super close, focus and take a photo

• You will want to take 5-7 photos from different angles.

  Photoshop

  • Open CD image

  • At the bottom of the Layers Pallet, pick the circle that is half black/half white

  • Choose Hue/Saturation

    

    • You want to bring out the colors, not fry out the photo

    • Change the Hue to a color combination that you like.
