Minimalism Part I: Monochrome

in #photography6 years ago (edited)

Merriam-Webster defines minimalism as "a style or technique that is characterized by extreme spareness and simplicity".

As a photographer, it is one of a number of challenging and often rewarding genres to shoot. I will often identify a potential minimalist image by probably the two most common aspects of minimalism - negative space and/or leading lines.

Architecture is the obvious choice for a minimalist shot, with its strong lines and shadows. But I also like to try and capture sparsity in landscapes, with this being more challenging to bring to fruition.

Below are some of the images that I have captured with a minimalist bent.
