Conceptual photography
Conceptual photography is a style that uses images to communicate ideas, thoughts, or messages beyond just visual representation. Photographers intentionally craft scenes or use symbolism to express abstract concepts such as emotion, identity, or social issues. The focus is on conveying a specific concept or narrative through creative composition, props, and symbolism, encouraging viewers to interpret and reflect on the underlying message. It’s a thoughtful approach that combines artistic skills with conceptual thinking, transforming a photograph into a visual statement that prompts deeper understanding and discussion.
