14 plus years of Minimalist Photography. 707K+ Learn Minimalism community submissions. Courses built around only one idea: simplify until only the essential remains. Every photographer reaches a point where adding more stops working. More gear, more subjects, more editing and the image still feels cluttered.
Minimalist photography is not a style. It is a discipline of vision. It is learning to see what can be removed until the image breathes on its own.

I have been building that visual grammar since 2012. This course is the complete transfer of it, from my eye to yours. You will learn to see a frame the way I see it. How silence in a photograph says more than a busy one ever can. How small choices in light, space, and subject and your position change everything about a photograph's composition.
I built these courses the way I wished someone had taught me when I started. There are 3 courses you can choose from:

Testimonials | What Students Say
Radhika S., Mumbai, India
“The course completely changed the way I look at a scene before I raise the camera. I stopped shooting instinctively and started seeing deliberately.”
Marco L., Milan, Italy
“Prakash has a rare ability to explain what is essentially an abstract concept in clear, practical terms. Day 3 on Zeroism was worth the entire course fee alone.”
Arjun M., Bangalore, India
“I had been shooting for five years before this course. The photo review session showed me exactly what I was doing wrong and I could improve my compositions.”
Common Course FAQs
Q. Do I need a professional camera to join?
A. No. A smartphone camera is sufficient to practice what I'd teach you. Minimalist photography is about vision, not equipment. What matters is how you see, not what you shoot with.
Q. Is any prior photography knowledge required?
A. Yes. This course assumes you already have basic photography knowledge. You should know how to operate your camera or phone and have some experience taking photographs. The course is not about photography basics. It is specifically about minimalist photography which is a niche domain.
Q. What platform is used for the class?
A. Classes are conducted via Zoom or Google Meet. You will need a device with a working camera, microphone, and a stable internet connection.
Q. What if I need to reschedule a session?
A. Write to me at least 48 hours before your scheduled session and we will find an alternative time. Rescheduling within 24 hours may not always be possible.
Q. How do I pay for the course?
A. Fees are paid upfront in full before the first session. Payment is accepted via PayPal, Wire Transfer for international students and PayTM, Google Pay, or Online Transfer for India. I will share payment details after you write to confirm your interest.
Q. Are prices negotiable?
A. Prices are fixed and non-negotiable. The only available discount is 10% when you enrol together with a friend. Both of you save 10%, and the session accommodates two students simultaneously rather than one on one.
Q. I am based outside India. Can I still join?
A. Yes. I teach students globally. The international price applies for everyone outside India. We schedule sessions to suit your timezone. Write to me and we will sort the timing.
Photography is a lifelong conversation between what you see and what you leave out. This course does not teach you to copy a style. It teaches you to build your own eye.
If you have been shooting for a while and feel like your images are not saying what you want them to say, this is where that changes.
Write to me at prakash_ghai@yahoo.com with the course you are interested in and your timezone. I will get back to you within 48 hours and we will take it from there.

Prakash Ghai
