Have you heard about abstract photography? I am sure some of you will certainly have an idea as to what it is even though they are unaware about the deep facts related to it. It is not a new form of art. It can be called as the revolutionary form invented by blending in certain older techniques related to photography. The latest version which is being re-invented by the masters and getting popular like hot cake is coloured smoke photography which is certainly an art form in a much different way.
Blogging was the only reason which made this kind of abstract photography very famous. This job was perfectly done by the highly gifted Graham Jeffrey who was brought into the limelight through his Sensitive Light fame. Through his blogs, the new approach was spread all across the globe moulding it into a new phenomenon.
You can find those lovely images which you see online or in different photos exhibiting the real beauty of smoke. Have you ever thought that a smoke, which is the leftovers of burning a substance, would be as beautiful as you find in the images?
This is nothing abstract photography which has become an art form. The ripples that you find with vibrant colors are all the effect of manipulating the images with these effects. The background can be lit up with bright colors or can be made dark with the darker ones. As you get experienced in making wonderful abstract images, you will surely become an expert in bringing up those lovely and of course you can call them as ‘sexy’ photos.
You might be thinking how you can also get into abstract photography? Isn’t it? For that, I would suggest going in through several photos which are available on the internet and it is sure to delight you.
So what is to be done is to first capture photos of smoke in any form that you wish to do and it is all upto the photographer to make the photo as beautiful as it should be. The next thing is to get into the digital effects by first cropping down the big photo to just fit the smoke in it at the right place. You can indeed make use of different tools to make it look as beautiful as it should be like rotating, increasing levels, sizes etc.
Even though both dark and light backgrounds are seen through in abstract photography, the first step for the beginners is to try with making the background dark or black. As you go on with the work, you can try your own variations to make it look even prettier. As we all know, nothing can beat ‘black’ it has its own beauty and so the picture is sure to cool your eyes with a black background. There is no doubt in that at all!
After you have set everything you can reverse to see both white and background and if the photo preferred and looks better in white you are always free to choose the same.
Now it is time to deal with the smoke as you are all set with the background. To give colour to smoke, utilize the hue and saturation tool. As your background is all set, you can simply apply colour to the smoke with a single touch all over as the background remains intact and well positioned. For gradient creation, you can use the feather tool which does your work. Now it is all done! Get the real abstract following it and keep trying to make an excellent creation!
