A Female Focus: Behind the Lens
Abstracts



For some, Abstract Photography is an unusual angle on a real-life subject, take Dorothy Faulkner’s photograph of Kimmeridge Shale (2 ) for example. While for others it provides an opportunity to experiment with a specific photographic or camera technique such as taking multiple photos while walking around the subject demonstrated by Christine Thomas’ photograph of a Cyclamen (4) or the long exposure fireworks in Nicky Newlands’ Night of Colour(7). We hope that you enjoy our images that display a range of abstract styles.
