A Looking down Minimalist Photograph of a Lines versus the Floor Mat, shot at Poppin Cafe Jaipur.

Poppin Cafe has now shut down, but I used to visit if often and I made friends with the owners Akul and Ritika.

Since I was friends with them, at times I used to carry my Camera to the Cafe and roam around freely searching for shots.

This is the reason I was able to get such a shot. I was free in the mind.

This twisted perspective is what I would love to shoot even more. Believe it or not, I started by placing the Wooden Table on the top left as a bar of straight line, then I adjusted my movement for the rest of the elements to align and form some kind of balance.

As you can see, there is a lot of Simple Geometric Elements in the frame and Negative Space, hinting at a classic Minimalist Photograph. The Floor Mat forms a Triangle and there is another one under the table and then there are Straight and Diagonal Lines.

The EXIF Data of the Photo is as follows:

Hope you enjoyed the Lines Versus The Floor Mat Minimalist Photograph.

Shadow Triangles

Minimalism as Less Elements

A Black and White Minimal Art Photo of Triangles being created by the Shadow of a Wooden Sign Board placed outside Poppin Cafe Jaipur.

This Wooden Sign board is placed at the Entrance Gate of Poppin Cafe, right next to the Stairs.

I composed this frame vertically and I placed the edge of the board towards the left of the frame, according to the Rule of Thirds.

The, I simply let the Shadow Triangles take their place into the Space on the right of the frame. The light was a bit low, so I had to bump up the ISO. For more technical details, you can have a look at the EXIF Data below.
