A Minimalist Photograph of a Diagonal Line created by the Siderail of a Staircase.


The Shadows on either side of the Siderail Diagonal Line was what prompted me to capture this subject and create it into a Minimalist frame.

I kept this Photograph colored, as yellow colored walls look fairly pleasing to the eyes. 

Also note, I haven't tinkered much with the brightness and contrast of the photograph, as I did not want to overdo anything here. 

Light and Shadow Minimalist Photos are a little tricky to edit. Another assumption that you can make is that, I was a bit lazy and therefore I did not make this Photograph pop that much via editing ;) Maybe? ;)

While composing this Photograph the only thing that I had to be careful with, was to shoot the Photograph from the right top-down angle and at the same time leave Negative Space, in a correct manner. 

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/4

  • Shutter Speed: 1/ 3200 sec.

  • ISO speed: ISO-100

  • Focal Length: 70 mm

Hope you enjoyed the Siderail Diagonal  Minimalist Photograph.

Black and White Minimal Art Photograph of Birds Sitting on the Patterned Side Rail of a wall at Diggi Palace Jaipur.


These pictures were taken during the Jaipur Literature Festival 2019. I had my Canon EOS 6D Mark II full frame Camera with me that day. 

I was waiting for a friend of mine to join me for a session. While I was waiting, I spotted these birds on the Patterned Side Rails of the wall near me. I was at a distance but that was not an issue, as I had the Telephoto 24-105 mm Lens with me. I zoomed a bit to captured these, and that you can see in the EXIF Data provided below. One of these shots were taken at 91 mm and the other one at 70 mm. On most occasions, I only put up a single shot from the series ie the best one, but here, I decided to put two.

  • Camera Model: Canon EOS 6D Mark II

  • Lens: Canon 24-105 mm Prime Lens

  • F-stop: f/16

Monochrome Lines Minimal

Minimalism as Simple Geometry

A Monochrome Minimal Art Picture of Lines created by Light and Shadows formation, on the walls of Jawahar Kala Kendra, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India.

Sometimes, Light and Shadows help you create subjects, if you are observant enough. This formation was spotted at Jawahar Kala Kendra, while I was on a hunt for Subjects Looking Up at the sky. I generally do so by following color differentials between walls, structures and the sky and also the Light and Shadow formations.  

I clearly saw Simple Geometry aka Lines here as my key element. I knew, this would look decent in Monochrome, so all that I had to do, was to expose the photograph properly and perfect the alignments within the frame.


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/6.3

  • Shutter Speed: 1/250 sec.

  • ISO speed: ISO-100

  • Focal Length: 105 mm

  • Metering mode: Spot

  • Exposure program: Manual

Hope you enjoyed the Monochrome Lines Minimal  Minimalist Photograph.
