In order to see the abstract beauty around us, we need to look at the world in different way. Primarily, a photograph can be taken as an abstract form of visual art if it does not stand for a subject in a plain and literal manner. The intricate lines, interesting forms and the fascinating colors can define the creativity and visual appeal of an abstract fine art photograph.

An abstract photo just like the image being featured in this post is not all about the literal definition of the flowing river as seen from above during a flightseeing flight over Kluane National Park in Canada. Located at the south-west corner of the Yukon area in Canada, Kluane’s landscape is all about glaciers and mountains. Kluane National Park is home to Mount Logan which is the highest peak in Canada and 2nd highest in North America. Instead, this image is about the subjective expression of engaging and provoking its viewers.

The obscurity of this image made it really interesting. The photograph seems to draw away from the realistic and literal meaning of the subject. The river appears to recreate a lot of shimmery forms which plays well with the naked eye. Of all the elements of a well-composed fine art image, the lines were so powerful. The visual rhythm created by the irregular lines catches the eyes of the viewer.

If this type of image appeals to you you should invest into purchasing a fine art print of this abstract work of art. It will definitely look good in almost any room of condo unit with modern and sleek design.

Put these two together, it will be a wonderful way of appreciating Mother Nature in a more imaginative and artistic manner.

A recent trip to Iceland gave me the opportunity to capture beautiful sceneries of Svinaefellsjokull Glacier. Iceland bears a frost-molded landscape with tremendously low temperatures. Yet, this place has been given a beautiful and diverse ecosystem and national resources unique to this remote place in the world. Gigantic glaciers, beautiful waterfalls and Northern Lights along with the geysers make Iceland an ideal place for a photographer like me.

This fine art image included more than what the eye can see from a natural point of view. The view is almost unobstructed as it showcased a vaster area of the Svinaefellsjokull Glacier. Take a look at this image and you will be awed by the details and texture of the subjects. The glacial mountain and the blanket of white snow appeared so surreal.

This wide format type of photography is quite impressive once it is done accurately. The stunning images captured are perfect for adding style and artistry in a living room, bedroom or even an office lobby.
