A Minimal Art Photograph of Peacock Feathers against an old Heritage Door.

This Photograph was taken when I was out on a Photowalk near Hawa Mahal Jaipur.

The Photowalk  was organized by Anudeep Mathur in November 2016. Thanks to the Quarantine/Lockdown, that I am able to dig into my old folders and bring these photos to the forefront.

We assembled in front of Hawa Mahal at about 8 AM. The Sun was shining bright and I still remember the air that day was really fresh.

After the Group Shot, we were supposed to walk towards Jaleb Chowk and keep clicking photos on our way. While everyone was on a Street Photography walk, I was on my combo of Street And/ OR Minimalism.

While on my way to Jaleb Chowk, I spotted this Old Heritage Door and these Beautiful Peacock Feathers Set. These feathers set was kept against the Heritage Door by a Peacock Feather seller. When I asked him he said that he would be off to sell these in about half an hour.

I admired the Peacock Feathers for a long time. They were so beautiful that I forgot to even click a picture.

After a while, I took the lens lid off and composed this Minimalist Frame bending low on my knees.

The feathers contrasted nicely with the Brownish-red old Heritage Door with In-built Square shapes.

Overall it was an interesting Color Palette not to miss.

Vertical Vs Diagonal Lines

Minimalism as Simple Geometry

A Minimal Art Photo of a Black Wire running across Diagonally against an Orange textured wall with Vertical Sections.

What I liked here was the Shadow of the Diagonal Black Wire, being casted in parts on the Vertical Sections of the Orange wall, almost giving a surrealistic feel to the entire Photograph. 

Sure, since this Image is all about Lines, therefore once can easily classify this under the Minimalism as Simple Geometry category of Minimalism. 

I thought a long while on whether this image would look good in Black and White or Color. I am usually biased towards Black and White, but this time I kept the photo colored.

Maybe because other than the Red Color, I like Orange as the second best. What is your favorite color by the way?
