PHOTOGRAPHY CONCEPTS | STILLS | BACKGROUNDS | YZCREATION |  2020

Some genres like landscape photography are easy to spot. And how are you able to know whether your photo fits that label? Basically, you'll call your photo “conceptual” if you’re using it, for instance, a selected idea. You’re not just capturing a gorgeous or interesting scene. You’re trying to help people visualize a concept.

Although it’s possible to “discover” a thought after the shoot, conceptual photographers usually have ideas in mind before shooting. The challenge is to communicate those ideas successfully in practice. For example, the photographer might prefer to use symbolism. Will viewers understand those symbols, though? If not, does that matter?

Below are some great samples of conceptual photography taken from our Flickr group. Their awesome work might inspire you to travel out and shoot your own conceptual photos. If you do, be sure to submit your images to the group!
