A Minimalist Photograph of a Fallen Leaf with 11 Leaflets at Jawahar Kala Kendra, Jaipur.

As you can see, the size of the Leaf is pretty small as compared to the rest of the space in the Photograph, therefore I have categorized this Minimalist Photograph under the Minimalism as in Small Objects category of Minimalism.

The Composition is fairly simple. I just placed the Fallen Leaf with 11 Leaflets in the frame according to the Rule of Thirds.

Then, I left lots of Empty/Negative Space on the left and also at the bottom of the frame, to redirect attention back to the Subject.

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/7.1
  
  
• Shutter Speed: 1/200 sec.
  
  
• ISO speed: ISO-320
  
  
• Exposure bias: 0 step
  
  
• Focal Length: 50 mm
  
  
• Metering mode: Spot
  
  
• Flash mode: No flash

Hope you enjoyed the 11 Leaflets Minimalist Photograph.

Empty Frames

Minimalism as Simple Geometry

There was a Apparel Exhibition at Jawahar Kala Kendra this Sunday. I spotted these spare Empty Frames near Parijaat Art Gallery, where the clothes were on display. 

On most of the frames they hung clothes using multiple metal hangers. These Spare Empty Frames provided me with an opportunity to click a Minimalism as Simple Geometry Photograph.

The Minimalist View says, that these are Black Lines (Simple Geometry) against Red Walls. Only 2 elements and therefore very Minimalist.

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/16
  
  
• Shutter Speed: 1/200 sec.
  
  
• ISO speed: ISO-5000
  
  
• Exposure bias: 0 step
  
  
• Focal Length: 50 mm

Hope you enjoyed the Empty Frames Minimalist Photograph.

Light Through The Box

Minimalism as Less Elements

OK, so what we have here is A Black and White Minimal Art Photograph of Light Passing through a Box lit via a Light Bulb at Jawahar Kala Kendra Jaipur.

This Photo is a bit Maximal in Nature aka Maximally Minimal, because of shadow spreading all over the frame.

But, in essence the Photo is Minimal because of Less Elements, i.e The Box and the Shadows created via it. No other elements are here. 

If you look at the Photograph ignoring the shadows, then you will be able to see how I composed my shot. I simply placed the Box in the frame according to rule of thirds, leaving negative space on the side. That negative space is where the shadows are. 

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/4.5
  
  
• Shutter Speed: 1/200 sec.
  
  
• ISO speed: ISO-1000
  
  
• Exposure bias: 0 step
  
  
• Focal Length: 50 mm
  
  
• Metering mode: Spot
  
  
• Flash mode: No flash
  
  
• Exposure program: Manual
  
  
• White Balance: Manual

Hope you enjoyed the Light Through The Box Minimalist Photograph.

Plant Vs Flying Bird

Minimalism as Less Elements

So today, I attended the Jaipur Literature Festival 2019 that usually happens at Diggi Palace Jaipur in January every year. 

As usual, I always attend the festival to click pictures rather than for the literature part. The decorations each year are unique and I look forward to checking them out. 

Since a lot of Photographers attend this event too, its a fun outing. Not to forget the numerous food stalls and the celebrities and authors that come from all over the world.

Getting back to the shot, what I always do to avoid clutter at this place, is to either "Look up" at the sky or at the Walls. 

This shot was taken near Darbar Hall, today at around 4.45 pm. This is the Look-up Minimal Photograph.

I was in the Monochrome Camera Settings for this one. Therefore this did not take much time in the editing software. I was initially shooting just the plant but then I saw this Eagle coming near my subject and because I was shooting on the LCD Screen Mode, I could easily wait and time the eagle for my shot. 

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/5.6
  
  
• Shutter Speed: 1/2000 sec.
  
  
• ISO speed: ISO-320
  
  
• Exposure bias: 0 step
  
  
• Focal Length: 80 mm
  
  
• Metering mode: Spot
  
  
• Flash mode: No flash
  
  
• Exposure program: Manual

Hope you enjoyed the Plant Vs Flying Bird Minimalist Photograph.
