Barbara Kasten, Abstract Photography


I love this photograph because of Kasten's use of color. The monochromatic color scheme with the white/blue tints in the glass itself is wonderfully used. The way the glass panels are lit to create the large and strong shadows behind the subject adds depth and a more abstract essence to the photo. I like the composition, the repeating lines and angles are strong and make it a bit realistic. I feel as though a touch of realism in an abstract scene is what makes people love abstract paintings and photos. It gives order to the abstract. I feel inspired to use light in a similar way and try to use a simple color scheme in my digital photos.
