This shot was taken somewhere near Ganpati Plaza, Jaipur. 


I went there to pick up a Flash Trigger, which was required for a professional photoshoot. 

I parked my Bike near the Famous "Gulab ji Chai wale" or Gulab ji Tea Stall and went for a walk with my Camera. 

I thought it would be a nice idea to check around for some Look Up Minimal Shots of the buildings. 

Near Neelam Hotel, Spotted this Broken Window Pane

I just took one shot for this. It is fun when you get your desired composition in the first try.

Also, as you can see, this is Minimalism as Simple Geometry

That Missing / Broken Window Pane Pops the otherwise Mundane Shot.

What we have here is:


"A Black and White Minimal Art Photograph of a Window with Horizontal Blinds, placed on a White Wall with Diagonal lines created by Light and Shadows."



What motivated me to shoot this as a Subject was primarily two factors:

1) The Lines created by Nature. 

2) How there were only a handful Horizontal Lines amongst the many Multiple Diagonal Lines. 


All that I had to do here was to punch in the right exposure settings in my Camera and leave some Negative /Empty space on the right hand side :)


The EXIF Data of the Photo is as follows:


  • Camera Model: Canon EOS 6D Mark II

  • Lens: Canon 50 mm Lens

  • F-stop: f/7.1

  • Shutter Speed: 1/320 sec.

  • ISO speed: ISO-100

  • Exposure bias: 0 step

  • Focal Length: 50 mm

  • Metering mode: Spot

  • Flash mode: No flash

  • Exposure program: Manual

Hope you enjoyed the Diagonal Versus Horizontal Lines Minimalist Photograph.

A Black and White Looking Up Minimal Art Photo of Four Windows of a Building and Electricity Wires Overlapping them.


This shot was taken near Ganpati Plaza Jaipur, opposite to the Old Gulab Ji Tea Shop. 

This is Classic Minimalism with lots of Negative Space (empty space) on the right. 

Alternatively, one could argue that this is Minimalism as Parts of the Whole, but that is not my intention here and I personally would not categorize this as that kind of an Image. 

I can't explain why but it is kind of obvious that the intention here is more towards showing Less Elements and Negative Space than any other thing. That effort is clearly visible.


The EXIF Data of the Photo is as follows:


  • Camera Model: Canon EOS 6D Mark II

  • Lens: Canon 100 mm Lens

  • F-stop: f/7.1

  • Shutter Speed: 1/2000 sec.

  • ISO speed: ISO-400

  • Exposure bias: 0 step

  • Focal Length: 100 mm

  • Metering mode: Spot

  • Flash mode: No flash

  • Exposure program: Manual

  • White Balance: Auto

Hope you enjoyed the Four Windows and Wires Minimalist Photograph.
