Art in the Abstract: Showcase of Conceptual Photography

When artists get an idea poised for realization, there are many ways that they take these concepts and bring them to life. These artists, usually working in more abstract arenas, craft these concepts from their imaginations into the physical world by many means. Photography however, is not one of these areas that we tend to think of when it comes to more abstract and conceptual work. Photography to most is more concrete an artform, or at least that is how many of us tend to view it. But conceptual photography is a dynamic, thriving form of art that is worth taking note of.

Especially for those looking to be inspired by photography in new ways. These photographs are more thoughtful than just aesthetic. They are rooted in the artist’s vision and seek to get the wheels in your mind turning, not just impress and awe you with their astounding visuals. It is much more an intentional construct and composition designed to move and connect with the viewer in deeper more meaningful ways than most traditional photography.

Today we have a showcase of some very talented artists, who have brilliantly brought their visions into our reality through their conceptual photography creations. Take a look below, the inspiration is waiting for you.

Shades of Grey: Showcase of B&W Photography

by Angie Bowen under Feeds, Web Design

Photography is such a vast field filled with so many amazing techniques and tricks for taking the world around us and stealing moments from it with often breathtaking results. One easy way for photographers to add emotion and impact to their captures is to strip them of color. B&W photography has such a knack for delivering such impactful pieces simply by taking them down to more basic levels and allowing the tone to be set in a much more subtle, yet evocative way.

Today we take a look at some truly inspiring images that use this raw energy that a B&W composition can instill. The artists’ work that we have turned our spotlight onto is devoid of colors, but in these stirring shades of grey you will find some powerful pieces speaking boldly to their viewers. We hope you enjoy.

A Showcase of Portrait Photography

by Angie Bowen under Feeds, Web Design

When photographers set out to take a picture of someone, there are those who say they are out to capture a lie; while others will argue that what they are really trying to get at the heart of is the truth. Not matter what side of the fence it is you come down on, the fact is, when the photographer gets up close and personal with their subject, truth or lie, something magical happens. With so little between the model and the viewer, the emotions and impact come across so much clearer. No interference.

Today we take you up close and personal with a showcase of some truly inspired portraits taken by some gifted photographers. Through their lenses they have filled their frames with some of the purest emotions they could capture, and today we are lucky to be able to feature these emotive works to our readers. Enjoy this collection of stunning portrait photography.
