A Minimal Art Photograph of a patch of White Paint above a Blue Chair, on an Orange Wall.

This shot was taken at New Colony Jaipur. This wall was right opposite a Scooter Repair Shop. The white Paint patch right above the Blue Chair, prompted me to take the shot. 

I went down a bit low on my knees and carefully placed the Blue Chair in the bottom left of the frame, following Rule of Thirds.

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?

The Overreaction

Minimalism as Less Elements

Some problems or issues are simple & relatively small just like the straight blue line here. But many a times we tend to overreact & over-complicate petty issues and make them big. We blow things out of proportion. The thick curved shadow of the pipe depicts our unwanted overreaction. On the other hand, when we are faced with a big complex problem we all act sensibly and sort it out well. Human behavior is complex, isn't it?

Composition

The photo falls under Minimalism as Less Elements category. To Compose, I made sure that I placed the curved shadow of the blue pipe in the center of the frame to give it maximum attention.(one of the rare occasions where I center placed the subject). The shadow is not my primary subject. My primary subject is the blue pipe, which I first placed on the top of the frame following the rule of thirds. Later, I made adjustments to my physical position as well as the other elements in the frame. I mostly add extra sharpness in my shots but that is a matter of personal preference, you may or may not choose to add it.

Tip: Practice spotting long shadows whenever you are out in the sun, with or without the camera.
