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.

So today, I attended the Jaipur Literature Festival 2019 that usually happens at Diggi Palace Jaipur in January every year.

As usual, I always attend the festival to click pictures rather than for the literature part. The decorations each year are unique and I look forward to checking them out.

Since a lot of Photographers attend this event too, its a fun outing. Not to forget the numerous food stalls and the celebrities and authors that come from all over the world.

Getting back to the shot, what I always do to avoid clutter at this place, is to either "Look up" at the sky or at the Walls.

This shot was taken near Darbar Hall, today at around 4.45 pm. This is the Look-up Minimal Photograph.

I was in the Monochrome Camera Settings for this one. Therefore this did not take much time in the editing software. I was initially shooting just the plant but then I saw this Eagle coming near my subject and because I was shooting on the LCD Screen Mode, I could easily wait and time the eagle for my shot.
