TRANSCRIPT
Abstract
Abstract photography is a long process of using various
colours and patterns combining to create an image with no
meaning or clear single explanation involved. Abstract
photography is also art which has a different meaning to
everyone else.
Paul Strand
Paul strand was an abstract photographer until his
death in 1976 one of his most famous works was his
porch shadows which was a variety of shadows
crossing over each other making strange patterns.
Paul Strand has the same kind of style as Otto
Steinert but they have two very different styles Otto
takes pictures of faces and people in many different
poses and forms were as Paul Strand works with
shadows and inanimate objects and shadows.
Otto Steinert
He was a photographer until his death in 1978 he was
an abstract artist and has made a few pieces his most
famous is pedestrian footprints a simple floor with what
seems to be a blank floor with a few footsteps. He has
the same idea as Paul strand although they both work
with two very different things such as Otto uses people
and locations and Paul uses shadows and inanimate
objects.

photographic style characterized by sharp focused and
carefully framed images seen through a viewpoint. One of

and even when he had access to colour
cameras he still preferred black and

compared to Edward Weston as Ansel
does nature and Edward varies from
adult images to nature.

different to Ansel as Ansel’s photographs are
pretty much all nature based and Edward does
many different styles.
