A Black and White Minimalist Photograph of a Man commuting to work on his Bicycle and a Big Shadow Triangle formed on the Street.

This shot was taken with from Civil Lines Metro Station 1st Floor. When I went there to take a shot, the Metro Station was under construction, therefore I had easy access to the staircase.

I was with my Canon 600 D crop sensor camera with 50 mm prime lens mounted, looking down on the street.

First, I placed the Shadow Triangle on the bottom left and then I waited for people/vehicles to pass by.

I knew long shadows of such people/vehicles would be created because of the position of the Sun and because of my distance from the street the subjects that pass by would look small enough to create a a nice Minimalist Frame.

I saw this Man on Bicycle heading into my frame from a distance and I waited to place him in the frame in such a way that would allow ample Negative Space.

Negative Space and the distance from which this Minimalist Photograph was taken, converted this Street Photo into Street Minimalism.

A Minimalist Photograph of Peacock Feathers against an old Heritage Door.

This Minimalist 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 built-in square shapes.

Overall it was an interesting color palette not to miss. 

As for the Types of Minimalism category, this photograph falls under the Less Elements type, as you can see here there are basically only two elements here 1. the door and 2. the peacock feathers

The EXIF Data of the Photo is as follows:

• Camera Model: Canon EOS 600 D

A Minimalist Photograph of an Abandoned Wooden Table in the backyard of a building.

I carried my Camera to Curious Life Coffee Roasters, C-scheme, one fine day.

COFFEE + MINIMALIST PHOTOGRAPHY?

HELL YES!!!

While I was waiting for my friend to reach the place, I headed to the backside of the building. There, I saw that some kind of construction was going on.

And I found this Abandoned Table lying there. What was interesting that the Abandoned Table had a Colorful Abstract Backdrop.

What else I could ask for?

I was on my Canon 100 mm Prime Macro Lens (as I planned to take some Macro Shots inside the Cafe or Coffee and other stuff)

I stepped back a little as 100 mm lens is already pre-zoomed in, and the subject appears too close.

Then, I composed the shot in the Portrait Mode/Vertically, leaving Negative Space on the Top.

Now that is a fairly simple Minimalist Photograph and the Composition is pretty easy to comprehend.

Let's look at the Technical Specifications of the Photograph in detail below:-

The EXIF Data of the Photo is as follows:

• Camera Model: Canon EOS 6D Mark II
