Definition of Minimalism in Merriam-Webster: A style or technique (as in music, literature, or design) that is characterized by extreme sparseness and simplicity. Minimalism in Photography (Google home page for minimalism in photography). Minimalism depends on high simplicity and involves using a minimal amount of compositional components such as shape, color and line. On Minimalizm: “Make things as Simple as Possible, but no Simpler.” Albert Einstein “There is no greatness where there is not simplicity, goodness, and truth.” Leo Tolstoy The K.I.S.S. theory- Keep it simple, stupid. I have no idea who composed this, but its evocative simplicity works. Following is “A 10 Step Guide to Superb Minimalist Photography.” The article is penned by Simon Bray from envatotuts. This is a simple, but very effective article on how to make it so. Very much worth the quick read. There is one example of plastic clothes pegs on a line. I figure it needs improvement- what do you think? The next article is also by evantotuts (the author in this case is Prakash Ghodke) with 50 examples. https://photography.tutsplus.com/articles/a-10-step-guide-to-superb-minimalist- photography--photo-4487 https://photography.tutsplus.com/articles/less-is-more-50-examples-of-minimalist- photography--photo-3914 Light Stalking has a great article entitled “7 ways to Make Your Minimalist Photography More-----Minimal? The authors name; minimalist in itself- “Richard.” https://www.lightstalking.com/minimalist-photography/ A good video (remember to skip adds) speaks to a master in Minimalism, Michael Kenna. There are several videos on or by Michael but this is certainly a good introduction. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TURFdRtSb7k I have often found that the best way to learn is to understand what doesn’t work in a photograph for a particular theme (and I have a lot of experience in this!). Pinterest offers exactly that opportunity. In this following page, there are some stunning examples for minimalism and then others that you wonder how they made it onto this page. https://www.pinterest.ca/search/pins/?q=Minimalism%20photography&rs=typed&term_ meta[]=Minimalism%7Ctyped&term_meta[]=photography%7Ctyped Hope these examples help! .
