The wild thyme unseen and the wild strawberry

Abstract photography is like a secret door that leads us into an enchanted realm of artistic expression. You enter a world beyond conventional reality, where beauty is hidden behind shapes and colors. It is an art form that captures the hidden essence of objects, giving a unique visual experience.

Abstract form is distinguished by its ability to go beyond the mere representation of the world. It breaks conventional patterns, embracing unusual patterns, textures and compositions. The magic of abstract photography lies in its ability to transform the everyday into the extraordinary, making the intangible tangible.

The approach requires a different look at the world around us. A seemingly ordinary object can turn into an extraordinary work of art when viewed through a creative lens. Experimenting with lighting, perspective and focus can uncover unusual details and create compositions that defy expectations.

The subject can be anything from architectural details to natural forms. A magnified leaf, the dance of lights on a reflective surface or the bold lines of a building can become sources of inspiration. The key is to embrace diversity and see beyond the surface.

Colors play a central role, offering a means to express emotions and create unique atmospheres, while composition, with its dance of shapes and proportions, adds an extra layer of depth to your images.

Abstract photography can touch emotional chords. It invites viewers to explore images through their own personal feelings and interpretations. In this way, abstract photography becomes a participatory art form where everyone can discover a unique meaning.

“I said to my soul, be still, and let the dark come upon you

Which shall be the darkness of God. [...]

Or as, when an underground train, in the tube, stops too long between stations

And the conversation rises and slowly fades into silence

And you see behind every face the mental emptiness deepen

Leaving only the growing terror of nothing to think about […]

I said to my soul, be still, and wait without hope

For hope would be hope for the wrong thing; wait without love,

For love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet faith

But the faith and the love and the hope are all in the waiting.

Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought:

So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing.

Whisper of running streams, and winter lighting.

The wild thyme unseen and the wild strawberry,

The laughter in the garden, echoed ecstasy

Not lost, but requiring, pointing to the agony

Of death and birth.”

(T.S.Eliot, from “East Coker”)

This is an exciting journey through which to rediscover our everyday world. Experiment, play and be inspired by the beauty behind what appears ordinary. Turn it into the extraordinary and capture the ineffable essence of your surroundings...
