A Black and White Look up Minimal Art Photograph of the Architecture at Jawahar Kala Kendra/ JKK Jaipur, shot with Canon EOS 6D Mark II full frame Camera.

I Mostly do not shoot Minimalism at Wide-Angle, but this time I tried, and for once the results are pretty OK. 

I was on the 24-105 mm Lens and this frame was captured looking straight up, exactly at 24 mm. 
It was peak afternoon and what I liked here was Light and shadows, and the fact that I could make the frame look a bit symmetric. 

The elements were near perfect. Two Water outlets, one having a long shadow. Then some Lines and then a Rectangle right in the center.

• Camera Model: Canon EOS 6D Mark II
  
  
• Lens: Canon 24-105 mm Prime Lens

Lamp Through the Fence

Minimalism as in Small Objects

A Black and White Minimal Art Photograph of a Distant Lamp as seen through the metal fence at Masala Chowk, Jaipur, India. Shot Captured with Canon 6D Mark II Camera.

How I composed this shot?

I started by focusing on the Distant Lamp, then I looked for the right aperture value to shoot this shot at. I did not want the fence in the foreground to appear blurry. Therefore, I shot this at a very high Aperture value of F/22. 

Since, I was shooting from the side and at an angle, this helped me to make the repeating fence bars create a kind of downward sloping diagonal line. 

That is pretty much all I want to say about the composition here. Also, have a look at the EXIF Data of the photo below.

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: 1/160 sec.
  
  
• ISO speed: ISO-320
  
  
• Focal Length: 70 mm
  
  
• Metering mode: Spot

Old Plastic Mesh Chair

Minimalism as Less Elements

A Black and White Minimalist Photograph of an Old Plastic Mesh Chair found at Jawahar Kala Kendra, Jaipur, India.  

This Shot was captured near Art Gallery 1 at JKK. A security guard usually sits at the chair right in front of its entrance gate. When I was shooting, the guard had gone for a stroll.

As you can see in the photograph, the Wall has been used as foreground and that is the Negative Space(very basic Minimalist Photography technique.) here as well.

To keep the wall and the elements on it in focus, I used a pretty high Aperture value i.e F/18.

By keeping the wall in the foreground and by cornering the Old Plastic Mesh Chair, I visually increased  the focus on it.

Also, I captured the photograph from a distance, so as to show the size of the Chair small relative to the frame. 

That is pretty much about this Minimalist Photograph and the composition in a few words. If you have any queries about it, send me an email.  I don't promise to answer back all of the e-mails but I will surely try my best. 

The EXIF Data of the Photo is as follows:

• Camera Model: Canon EOS 6D Mark II
  
  
• Lens: Canon 50 mm Prime Lens
  
  
• F-stop: f/18
  
  
• Shutter Speed: 1/60 sec.
  
  
• ISO speed: ISO-3200
  
  
• Focal Length: 50 mm
  
  
• Metering mode: Spot

Shadow Triangles

Minimalism as Less Elements

A Black and White Minimal Art Photo of Triangles being created by the Shadow of a Wooden Sign Board placed outside Poppin Cafe Jaipur.

This Wooden Sign board is placed at the Entrance Gate of Poppin Cafe, right next to the Stairs. 

I composed this frame vertically and I placed the edge of the board towards the left of the frame, according to the Rule of Thirds. 

The, I simply let the Shadow Triangles take their place into the Space on the right of the frame. The light was a bit low, so I had to bump up the ISO. For more technical details, you can have a look at the EXIF Data below.

The EXIF Data of the Photo is as follows:

• Camera Model: Canon EOS 6D Mark II
  
  
• Lens: Canon 100 mm Prime Lens
  
  
• F-stop: f/4
  
  
• Shutter Speed: 1/250 sec.
  
  
• ISO speed: ISO-2000
  
  
• Focal Length: 100 mm
  
  
• Metering mode: Spot
  
  
• Exposure program: Manual
  
  

Hope you enjoyed the Shadow Triangles  Minimalist Photograph.

Six Steps

Minimalism as Simple Geometry

A Minimalist Photograph of Six Steps of one of the two Entrance Staircases at Hawa Mahal Jaipur.

This Minimal Art photograph is an improvement over the earlier Minimalist picture that I took at the same place of the same staircase "A Call from the Unknown". 

In the earlier photograph, there was a lot of Negative Space and was a very low angle shot. But in this Photograph, you see that I am shooting somewhat top-down and the amount of Negative Space is less. 

Also, by adding the 2 Steps turning towards the left and making them disappear after that, I have tried to create some sort of Mystery in the frame to engage the viewer. 

Because, I am showing Pure/Simple Geometry as a base in this Minimalist Photograph, therefore, I classified it under the Minimalism as Simple Geometry  category of Minimalist Photography.

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: 1/320 sec.
  
  
• ISO speed: ISO-500
  
  
• Focal Length: 35 mm
  
  
• Metering mode: Spot
  
  
• Exposure program: Manual
  
  

Hope you enjoyed the Six Steps  Minimalist Photograph.
