Abstractionism in photography [ENG-PT/BR]

I don't like adding captions to my photographs. Except for those photographs that serve a documentary purpose. In other words, in documentary photography, I need to use captions with the date, location, or other information that is useful for a more objective—more informative—interpretation.

In my work as a photographer, I like to give the viewer their own interpretation. Not everything has to be objective and direct. Subjectivity can be a catalyst for our imagination. Some people feel and see things one way, others differently.

Photographs that are difficult to decipher and non-objective can be obtained through textures, reflections, and optical illusions, and fall into the genre of abstract photography. This genre allows for creative freedom and different interpretations. It evokes emotions and sensations, the result of non-figurative visual compositions.

Monochrome photographs also help to explore experimentation. They also give space for creative freedom.

HISTORY

Abstract photography has its origins in the abstract art movements of the 20th century, such as Surrealism, Cubism, and Expressionism.

These movements challenged the status quo of notions of representation and realism, seeking to stimulate emotions, sensations, and new concepts in a non-traditional way.

ABSTRACT PHOTOGRAPHERS

Man Ray and Laszlo Moholy-Nagy were pioneering photographers who experimented with abstract techniques. They influenced several generations of artists.

More contemporary names exploring this genre of abstract work include Eileen Quinlan, Liz Deschenes, Walead Beshty, Franco Fontana, Rolf Aamot, and Silvio Wolf, among others.

O abstracionismo na fotografia

Não aprecio colocar legendas nas minhas fotografias. Com excepção daquelas fotografias que servem o propósito de documento. Ou seja, na fotografia documental tenho necessidade de usar legendas com a data, local, ou outra informação que seja útil para uma interpretação mais objectiva - mais informativa.
ﾠ
No meu trabalho de fotografia de autor gosto de dar ao receptor a sua interpretação. Nem tudo tem que ser objetivo e direto. A subjectividade pode ser um catalisador para a nossa imaginação. Umas pessoas sentem e vêem de uma maneira, outras de maneira diferente.
ﾠ
As fotografias difíceis de decifrar, não objectivas, podem ser obtidas através de texturas, reflexos, ilusão óptica e encaixam no género da fotografia abstrata. Este género permite liberdade criativa e diferentes interpretações. Evoca emoções e sensações, resultado de composições visuais não figurativas.

After the initiatives: @CryptoCompany [Banner for Boost], Lovesniped and Hive onboarding app Check in With, it’s time to highlight the friendly @dustbunny.

👍 Are you one of those people, like me, who likes to give a small reward when interacting with other users through comments?

🚨 Then you should know that rewards below $0.020 are never actually paid out. Your gesture has no effect. It just consumes your RC and leaves dust. That's where DustBunny comes in.🥕🐇

The cute @dustbunny stops munching on carrots and goes to look at the votes that are in this condition, dusty, and rewards them with the difference so that payment is possible. It cleans up the dust, in other words. Sensational, isn't it?

The cleaning is free, but DustBunny needs carrots to feed its voting power. That's where you can delegate a small portion of your HP to him to stock up on carrots. The HP is always yours. You can disconnect the delegation at any time. Here is all the information.
