This is a Look Up Minimal Shot that I clicked at Ravindra Manch Jaipur.


I had the 100 mm Prime Macro Canon L Series F/2.8 Lens mounted on my Canon 600D Crop Sensor Camera. 

I went to Ravindra Manch to attend Jaipur Art Summit.


I remember it was very hot and I captured this Minimalist Photograph at about 3 p.m in the afternoon. 


I attend a lot of Art Events for they help me absorb the Art Vibes around. 


Well, I was a little bored tonight and I wanted to post something Very Simple

So, I decided to post these Windows with Red Border i.e. Minimalism as Simple Geometry Minimal.


  • Primarily we have Two Big Rectangles and Two Big Long Lines in the frame.
  • And As I mostly do, I chose a Side Angle. 


Hope that you enjoyed the shot. 

Let me know of your feedback. 

Have a Good Evening :)

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.

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 :)

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 :)

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 !
