What we have here is a Picture of the Long Shadow of a Bicycle but the actual Subject is the Front Type.

The Viewer made to imagine the rest of the Bicycle, its Partial Shadow on the White Wall being a Clue.

This is a good Example of Minimalism as Parts of the Whole. 


You have a part of the Bicycle Shown and the viewer needs to imagine the rest. You may or may not choose to show a hint aka the shadow on the wall.

I kept it Monochromatic here.

Light and Shadow looks way better in monochrome. 

Hope you enjoyed the shot.

Two Lamps

Minimalism as Less Elements

What we have here is a "Looking-up" / Look-Up, Black and White Minimalist Photo of Two Lamps, one of them being covered with Shadow.

I clicked this shot during Jaipur Literature Festival 2018 at Diggi Palce Jaipur.

The lamp on the lamp promoted me to shoot it as it was beautifully covered in shadows and the lines created by light on it were too good to look at. 

After taking about a couple of shots, I decided to also included the lamp on its side. 

The lamp on the left is exposed to the sun and that gave me a chance to display "Opposites" aka one Lamp in Shadow and the other one in the Sun.

Hope you enjoyed the shot.

Keep that feedback coming !

Thank You - Have a Good Day :)

Street Lamp Shadow Minimal

Minimalism as Less Elements

Greetings once again from Jaipur City.

Before I write about this picture, I would like to ask for apology for any editing errors in the Photograph above.

Last week, my Laptop crashed and I bought a new one only 3 days ago. 

It took me sometime but finally I got all the software and editing tools to work.

I will take some time getting used to the new Display Screen and other Settings. 

I did not have much of a problem though with the Black and White effect here, as I had shot the photo in Monochrome settings.

More on the Photograph

I spotted this Street Lamp Shadow right opposite Poppin Cafe, where I usually hang out on Sunday for a Cup of White Tea.

The Shadow of the Street Lamp on the Textured Wall, was the thing that motivated me to click this subject. 

I tilted the camera in my hand a bit to get both the Lamp and its Shadow in the frame. 

I did wait for a while for a bird to fly past, in fact about 20 minutes, but I had no luck this time.

I have categorized this picture under the Minimalism as Less Elements category of Minimalist Photography. 

The elements being the Lamp (and its shadow) and the Wall.

Hope you enjoyed the shot.  Keep that feedback coming :)

8 Red Roses

Above is a shot of 8 Red Roses against a Textured Wall. 

This shot was taken at the Entrance gate of "Jal Dhara" Jaipur, a place where young couples go to spend some time with each other. It is basically a garden that is host to a lot of water fountains. 

While I was on my way out of that garden (mind you, I was out there only for a photo-walk) I found these set of roses lying in a plastic bucket that belonged to an old woman. 

That old woman was actually selling red roses right outside the gate to couples. 

While composing the shot, I placed the 8 Red Roses on the bottom left of the frame and left a lot of empty or Negative Space on the sides to make the image look more Minimalistic. 

The Decayed Textured Wall at the back adds a nice contracts to the fresh Red Roses. 

The photo falls under the Minimalism as Less Elements category of Minimalist Photography. 

Hope that you enjoyed the photograph.

Your feedback is welcomed.

Have a Good Day ! 

Clothespin Shadow

This is a Shot that I clicked yesterday. Thanks to my neighbors as this is a clothesline used by them. 

Earlier they were using a Green Clothesline. They replaced it with a Yellow one only recently. 

I cross this wall daily before going to office so you might see some more shots from this wall in the future.

What prompted me to click this frame was, The shadow of 2 Clothespins being casted under one.

This is the "Stop everything and Shoot Shot", you can't waste much time as the shadows move very fast. So I quickly ran to my room and got back to this wall within 45 seconds.

Also, some people set up their subjects prior to shooting but I do not like doing that.

I like it all natural.

Some Photographers might re-arrange the pins here to get this kind of shot but for me If such a thing is done the "Feel is lost".

What's even more interesting, is that I kept roaming the entire day last Sunday to get a decent enough Minimal Art Photograph but I got my shot yesterday right outside my house.

Thanks to nature for guiding me to it and to my neighbors of course :)

Eager for your feedback on the picture.
