I have been capturing minimalist photographs for over a decade. At some point my work found its way into the NFT space and it felt like a natural fit.
The story dates back to the 1st covid lockdown. We were all home, shops and businesses were closed and we all had only digital screens in front of us.

I have been involved in the blockchain space since late 2016. Yes, I was early and even have been rewarded a bug-bounty. So, during the lockdown in 2021 there was an explosion of digital art on-chain and boom NFTs started trending.
People would draw stuff on procreate and mint their artwork and most artist were able to fetch a decent amount for their effort.
I saw a lot of NFT art sales happening, which gave me the idea to mint photographs as NFTs. Mind you, there were barely any buyers for it back then but it took me a good year and a few months to get my first Minimalist Photography NFT sale.
Since then, there was no looking back. I also used to host "NFTs and adrak wali chai" X spaces to teach indian nft and web3 enthusiasts how to get into the NFT space.
My NFTs are available across a number of platforms. Each one carries different work, different themes, and serves a different kind of collector. Whether you are new to collecting photography NFTs or have been in the space for years, there is an entry point here for you.
Collect My Minimalist Photography NFTs Across Multiple NFT Platforms
1. Foundation
Foundation that uses the ethereum blockchain underneath, is home to my most intentional minimalist photography. The work here is built around unique perspectives.
Lookup minimalism that pulls your eye straight to the sky, and reflection minimalism that blurs the line between what is real and what is mirrored. These NFTs reward a second look and sit with you long after.

PS: the foundation platform may be under maintenance, I have moved some of the NFTs to OpenSea. Write to me if you are facing issues finding.
2. OpenSea
OpenSea is where my minimalist photography spans its widest range in color wrt NFTs. Colorful minimalism sits alongside two black and white series. One being an intimate collection of Jaipur street photography and the other a black and white Jantar Mantar exclusive.
If you want to explore a larger body of work before committing to a specific piece, OpenSea is a good starting point. If a work you want isn't listed, you can also bid or contact me.

3. Tezos via Objkt
The Tezos blockchain has a strong community of photography collectors and I have been active there for some time. One of my pieces on Tezos was collected by a former Sotheby’s curator, which tells you something about the level of collectors who are still active in the ecosystem.
Objkt is the primary marketplace for Tezos Blockchain NFTs. The gas fees are very low, which makes it accessible for collectors at any level. The work I have minted on Tezos includes some of my core minimalist photographs.

4. Exchange Art
Exchange Art runs on Solana and has built a focused community around fine art photography and digital art. I appreciate the curation standards there and the collector base tends to have a genuine interest in photography as an art form rather than speculation.
The work available on ExchangeArt sits within my more refined minimalist frames, pieces where the composition carries the full weight.

6. Bitcoin Ordinal Inscription NFTs
You would not believe it but I have also inscribed a few Black and White Minimalist Photographs directly on the Bitcoin Blockchain via ordinal inscriptions tech, inscribing done using the Gamma NFT platform.
I am certain that I am the first Photographer in India to do so, as my inscription number is #158264 or under the first 200k inscriptions ever to be inscribed. For comparison, there are a total of 126 million inscriptions as of today. I was way early.
I am also certain that I am the first Minimalist Photographer in the world to inscribe a minimalist photo on the Bitcoin Blockchain. Unlike other NFTs, these are etched onto the chain. They are inscribed into the witness data of a Bitcoin transaction and then assigned to a specific satoshi.
My NFTs are now a part of bitcoin blockchain forever. I have 1 listed, rest two are for OTC. They carry a premium. If you interested in any of these, send me a private message first from the contact page.

A Note on Collecting My Work
Each photograph I release as an NFT carries the same creative conviction as the work hanging in galleries or shipped as fine art prints. On chain, every piece is a one of one digitally signed from my wallet, publicly verified, and backed by provable provenance.
You are not just acquiring an image, you are acquiring something whose authenticity and ownership are permanently written into the blockchain.
If you collect a piece and want to talk about it, about what went into making it or what it means within my larger body of work, you can reach me directly at prakash_ghai@yahoo.com.
I am genuinely interested in the people who collect my work and I try to stay in touch with collectors across all platforms.
Beyond The Blockchain
My work has been licensed by Nike and featured in the Economic Times and China Daily. I have served on photography juries at St. Stephen’s College Delhi and St. Xavier’s Jaipur. The NFT space is one part of a practice that has been running for over 5 years and the work you find across these platforms reflects that same long commitment to minimalism as a way of seeing.
The NFT space taught me a lot as a photographer. It pushed me to keep up with emerging technology and I am glad I did. Every artist should. IRL Exhibitions is something an artist should also practice rather than handing out digitally. I did my first IRL exhibition in Nov 2025 and encourage every artist and photographer to do so.
