Distortion: Valerie Morris

 In most types of photography, distortion is unwanted. Sometimes it can be desirable because an artist can create art that is one of a kind. Distortion is alteration of an original object that could be hard to figure out what it was in the first place.

Distortion is similar to abstract because there isn’t a true reality to the image. When an image is being distorted, the meaning of the image becomes different. Distortion doesn’t have to be taken so literally but most of the time it is. Your perception and outlook could be distorting how you look at the scene or something you photographing could actually be distorting the image.

Abstract: Valerie Morris

Have you ever truly stopped and looked at what is around you? Our world is amazing and filled with many possibilities. If you would just take a few seconds in your busy schedule, and really looked at what you touch throughout the day. What would you see? 


Would you see the ordinary object or would you see colors, textures, and shapes that appear repeatedly. If you can open your eyes to this, you just looked at the objects in an abstract way.


Abstract art can be the most ordinary objects, we see every day. However, they may not look like it. Truthfully, it’s not really about the objects. It’s about what the objects can create through design.
