Abstract Impressionistic Photography

Reflecting the classical movements of impressionism, abstract expressionism and surrealism these photographers use their eye for texture and color layers to create brush strokes with the lens.

Paul Pacey

“A shift in traditional photographic approaches, intuitively borrowing a page from the Impressionist masters. Simply put, “I think I’m just a painter trapped in a photographer’s body”, says Paul of this new work.” – Prague Daily Monitor

Greg Considine

Taking inspiration from abstract expressionism, surrealism and impressionism, painters from Salvador Dali, Joan Miró, Jackson Pollack to Paul Klee, and using a 19th century window pane as his preferred medium of expression, Greg Considine has created an inspiring series of smoothly graceful, beautifully volatile and emotional reflection photos.
