Ray of Light

Minimalism as Simple Geometry

I am back with Minimalism as Simple Geometry once again. 


Via this "Ray of Light" cutting across the big window, I wanted to show:


A) How the Light created by nature, beautifully bisects the intersection point of two red lines.

B) That the Single Light beam, visually appears to be Two Light Beams or Rays of Light, because of varied depth in the frame. The white wall just behind the window is actually further away and that lead to the creation this Illusion.

*Also note that the red area of the wall is carefully placed following the Rule of Thirds, both at the top and on the left of the frame.

Such shots are a rare find and once you spot them, don't waste a second. If I was even a Minute or two late, the Ray of Light would have entirely changed its position.

This, was the only shot I took that day on my visit to the famous Jawahar Kala Kendra, Jaipur.

Hope you enjoyed it. Do leave your feedback below.

Thank You !

Light Shadow Minimalist Photography with Fabric Rolls in Jaipur


This shot was taken on a Sunday afternoon, at Jawahar Kala Kendra yet again, as it is one of my favorite hangouts in Jaipur city. I am usually there for Coffee and to meet the umpteen talented and creative individuals. One would usually find theater artists, visual arts students, photographers, videographers, painters, writers, poets, fashion designers, product designers, philosophers, some enlightened beings and  minimalists like me there. 

We all inter-mingle and exchange thoughts over coffee or lemon tea. The vibes are so creative and the experience is one of its kind. I particularly like talking to this one friend of mine, Astha Sharma, who is like my spiritual guide. We discuss a lot of philosophy and spiritualism and I am always surprised by her knowledge. She also likes minimalist dressing, and her general sense of fashion is very good.

Many a times I find myself discussing Minimalism in fashion with her & that really helps in understanding the genre as a whole. This particular arrangement of the cushions and the lines in the background, was done by Aman Bhaiya(also a photographer), Astha Sharma and Ayushi for a casual photo-shoot of theirs. I picked upon the arrangement once they were done.

I knew I had my Minimal shot waiting for me. Simple Geometry is always way more appealing than other forms of Minimalism. especially when it is more about lines. Well, something about geometry you see. Also, I always jump quickly onto anything that involves light and shadow. The composition has been kept simple and a touch of intricacy has been added by making the lines criss cross. 

The other notable detail is that the out of focus lines i.e the cushion lines, are coming in from the left and the in-focus lines come in from the right or opposite directions, and that is the highlight of the photo.
