A Corner Shot of a Pink Wall, with a Black Wire running across and with an Iron Pole in the foreground.

OK, so I am back with a Colored Minimal Art Photograph. I just surprised myself with that to be honest. 

Someone told me today, that I am not putting up enough Minimal Art Photos lately. Well, that is kinda true, as I am currently exploring Street Photography to basically reset my vision for Minimalism. If you want to have a look at some of my Street Photographs, head over to my Instagram Profile and check the "street photos" highlights section there https://www.instagram.com/prakashghai/ 

Coming back to the Minimalist Photograph posted above, it is easy to spot my love for Geometry. The Iron Bar is a Straight Line forming a Triangle and the Black Wire running across, is a curve. The edge of the wall is also a Vertical Line and of course, and the Shadow of the Wire enhances the frame. Oh ! and did I forget to mention the striking Pink Color of the wall? (all elements of minimalist photograph)

So, now you got it, isn't it?  This is how I keep Photos simple and yet make them subtly interesting. 

The EXIF Data of the Photo is as follows:

• Camera Model: Canon EOS 6D Mark II

Knot in a Relationship

Minimalism as Less Elements

"At times you stumble upon people in life with whom you should ideally not tie the knot of a relationship with. But a wandering heart never listens.". You find that are the odd one out in your family. You are the complete opposite and you feel that nobody can ever understand you. And then you stumble upon a person who respects you for what you are, for what you say, for your views on life.

He/she supports you and instills confidence in you. Suddenly you have a reason to smile, a reason to live, but you realize that maybe you cannot enter into a relationship with that person as it might be socially unacceptable for whatever reasons. But you eventually fall for him/her. You tie the Knot. To compose, I went really close to the subject, as the backdrop was not well lit and to properly expose the subject. I wanted to emphasize on the knot and therefore I kept the background out of focus by using a lower f-stop.

In Minimalism, I personally like to keep everything in focus, and for me a shallow depth of field is "cliche". But this shot is an exception. My general advice to all those new to minimalism is to use f-stops such as f/7 or f/8 and always try and click shots where everything is in focus, especially when shooting geometry.
