The word abstract can be used in myriad contexts but its rudimentary connotation remains the same. The terminology explains that abstract is something that is intangible and has no physical form. It exists as a thought, idea or a feeling that you know is out there but there is no substantial proof for it. Now abstract photography works along the same lines.

When we conjugate an abstract theme with a picture, it categorizes itself as abstract photography. Such photographs have minimal connection with the reality and use various camera tools to bring their portrayal across. An abstract photograph aims to create an apparently fictitious picture from real objects in order to showcase some feeling that was otherwise not being put forth.
