DIY Abstract Photo Art

Why choose to frame one photo when you can frame ‘em all, right?! More is more, friends. Well, at least, that’s what I was thinking when I assembled this abstract photo art. When I first tried to make it, let’s just say it was a major fail. Turns out there’s an actual technique behind the “abstract” look and I’m here to give you the how-to on making your own.

First you’ll wanna scour your photos and use your PIXMA MG7720 to print a few borderless, letter sized prints and you’re off to the races!

    Fascinating approach to creating abstract visuals with everyday tools. Playing with reflections, lights, and motion adds such a unique character to the shots. To explore similar creative effects outdoors, night car photoshoot can be a great recommendation — the mix of headlights, neon signs, and long exposures easily transforms ordinary scenes into abstract art. Both ideas open up endless opportunities to experiment with light and mood.

    Today, I went to the beach front with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!

    Okay, this is great! I totally understand the initial “fail” feeling. Abstract art can be deceptively tricky. I’m really curious to learn more about the specific techniques you discovered to achieve this look. Did you experiment with different layouts before settling on this arrangement? Maybe you even used an app like Sprunki, I heard they are amazing at helping you with abstract arrangement. I’m excited to read the full tutorial and try my hand at creating my own version!
