What is abstract photography?  Just an out of focus image – hardly! 

Abstract photography can take on so many different forms its hard to pin down an exact definition.  That is what makes it so fascinating, said the camera club.

In this presentation I will cover and discuss the many forms of abstract photography and the techniques used to create them.  Simplicity, composition, angle of view, lighting, harmony and most importantly mystery, said Katz.

Katz will discuss how to create effective abstract images using everyday objects, using design elements, using macro lenses, shooting through objects, capturing motion, playing with lighting and how to create a home studio to create and capture abstract images.

“Photography has been part of me from a young age.  An early memory of my Dad is him looking down through the viewfinder of his twin lens reflex camera,” said katz.

“He soon graduated to a Konica rangefinder that was constantly by his side.  I vividly remember the slide shows of family vacations as well as more private moments shared by my parents,” said Katz.

“My first camera was the Olympus Pen F half frame beauty and I soon moved through the full line of Olympus OM models.  Fast forward to the digital cameras and images of today.  I still shoot Olympus but have added a Nikon to the bag,” said Katz.
