I had been trying to shoot this kind of perspective for a while now.  I tried to shoot such a frame at different places at Jawahar Kala Kendra. 

Finally, this frame made it to my blog. 

The reason being, I have a clear Subject i.e the Circle and a complimentary Subject aka the Door

Also there are clear Leading Lines and the big Shadow Patch adds even more interest to the composition. 


The EXIF Data of the Photo is as follows:


  • Camera Model: Canon EOS 6D Mark II

  • Lens: Canon 50 mm Prime Lens

  • F-stop: f/22

  • Shutter Speed: 1/250 sec.

  • ISO speed: ISO-250

  • Exposure bias: 0 step

  • Focal Length: 50 mm

  • Metering mode: Spot

  • Flash mode: No flash

  • Exposure program: Manual

Hope you enjoyed the Distant Circle and Door  Minimalist Photograph.

Glossy Door Handle

As you must have observed in many of my Photographs, I prefer shooting a lot from the Side. It gives a unique perspective and most importantly adds certain depth to the frame. That just doesn't happen when shooting dead front. 

The above shot of the Glossy Door Handle, too has been shot from the side angle.


I moved this much this time around, to include the red area of the wall which you can see on the extreme right.

The Reason: well, Color Palette. Yes, I do balance the color palette of the frame and that influences my compositions a lot. 

Shooting from the side also helped me incorporate a lot of negative space (to the right of the frame) which is another basic element of Minimalist Photography

This shot is again one of those, where an evident subject was not available as such, and therefore I crafted my own subject via my physical movement. 

Hope you enjoyed the shot. :)

The White Door

A Black and White Minimalist Photo of the open white door in the balcony, at Jawahar Kala Kendra Jaipur.


This shot was taken from the balcony at the first floor at Jawahar Kala Kendra. I spotted this open door and thought it could make for a good Minimalist Photograph Subject, especially because of the Empty or Negative space that was around it.

I could have captured this Photograph straight from the front, but to show Visual Depth in the frame I captured this from the side.

The open door creates a sort of a mystery esp in Black and White, while in reality, the wall was actually red, but I turned the shot into Black and White as Black and White Minimalist Photographs do stand out from the Colored ones.

Hope you enjoyed the Shot. 

Take Care
