Geometric shapes are the most basic shapes we recognize. They consist of squares, rectangles, triangles, circles, and other rigid lines or definite forms. The picture above shows those basic shapes and characteristics.
Natural
Natural shapes are shapes and objects found in nature. They range anywhere from environmental objects such as trees, clouds, flowers, and bodies of water, to the animals pictured above.
Abstract
The pictures above are abstract because they consist of random patterns and objects, but they are still pleasing to look at. Like organic lines, abstract shapes make you ponder what you see. I think these are successful abstract photos because for the most part, you cannot figure out what you are looking at. These patterns come from objects, but instead of focusing on what the objects are, the patterns are what draw your attention.
Non-Representational
Non-Representational shapes are like abstract shapes in that they are not clear objects. Even though viewers can probably guess what each picture above is of, they are successfully non-representational because only I know where each picture was taken and what the whole object is. For example, you can probably tell that the top left picture is of a building, but only I know that it is the at&t building in Nashville that I think looks like Batman.
