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. 

The EXIF Data of the Photo is as follows:


  • Camera Model: Canon EOS 600 D

  • Lens: Canon 50 mm Prime Lens

  • F-stop: f/2.8

  • Shutter Speed: 1/500 sec.

  • ISO speed: ISO-200

  • Focal Length: 50 mm

  • Metering mode: Spot

  • Exposure program: Manual

Hope you enjoyed the Bicycle Shadow Vs Shadow Triangle Minimalist Photograph.


Thank you for your time. Have a Nice Day !

A Minimalist Photograph of A Red Industrial Pipe versus the Black wire on a textured wall near Jaleb Chowk Old Jaipur City.


I first placed the Red Industrial Pipe aka the Water Outlet, on the bottom right of the frame with the Black Pipe towards its left. 

I later included a Red Orange Vertical Bar of the wall right next to the Black Wire (towards its left).

I placed this Minimalist Photograph under the Minimalism as Less Elements category of Minimalism for there is not much clutter here. 

This is the best part in Minimalist Photography.

You have to keep it Simple despite sometimes the elements being more in the frame. 

Some bit of Empty/ Negative Space to the right of the Red Pipe is intentionally kept.


The EXIF Data of the Photo is as follows:


  • Camera Model: Canon EOS 6D Mark II

  • Lens: Canon 24-105 mm Prime Lens

  • F-stop: f/22

  • Shutter Speed: 1/200 sec.

  • ISO speed: ISO-4000

  • Focal Length: 70 mm

  • Metering mode: Spot

  • Exposure program: Manual

Hope you enjoyed the Red Pipe Vs the Wire  Minimalist Photograph.
