This page is dedicated to two photographic approaches that deliberately differ from classical representational photography: impressionistic photography and abstract photography.

Impressionistic photography deliberately employs techniques such as motion blur, multiple exposures, selective focus and playing with light reflections. Rather than depicting the subject in detail, the aim is to capture the atmosphere and impression of the moment. This often involves using longer exposure times, moving the camera or using special filters.

Abstract photography breaks away from recognisable motifs. It uses structures, colours, shapes and contrasts created through extreme cropping, macro photography, blurring and digital post-processing. The result is images that represent visual experiments and open up new perspectives, rather than documenting reality.

Both approaches focus on perception. They exploit the technical capabilities of the camera — including exposure time, aperture, lens selection and post-processing — to produce images that interpret, rather than depict, reality.

This website showcases works based on these principles, aiming to highlight the diversity of experimental photography.
