A Minimal Art Photograph of a White Bow on a Red Wall (Square) at Jawahar Kala Kendra, Jaipur.


This shot was taken from the 1st floor. I have not taken a shot from this place before. I had to take special permission to access this area and I was allotted only 5 minutes. I made sure that I made the best of the little time available.

I was on my 50 mm lens and I adjusted myself to get the White Bow inside the Square. But, I needed a supporting subject as the frame looked bland, therefore, I moved back a little more and included the window on the right, thereby leaving empty space between the two geometric objects.

My primary subject of course is the White Bow, and that was the sole starting point. All else has been done to enhance the composition. 

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/16

  • Shutter Speed: 1/100 sec.

Hope you enjoyed the White Bow Red Square  Minimalist Photograph.

A Look Up Minimalist Photograph of the Side of a Covered Terrace, shot with Canon 6D Mark II Camera and 100 mm lens.


This shot was captured near Chaisa Cafe behind Mahaveer School, MI Road. I was on the 100 mm Macro Lens.

What motivated mere here was the Clear Blue Sky and the Brown/Yellow Part of the Covered Terrace. These two colors we contrasting well and the Squares(simple geometry) in the Acrylic Roof added further interest.

To make the frame look Simple and Minimalist, I very conveniently left Negative Space on the Top and to the Right side of the frame.

A Black and White Minimal Art Picture of a Water Pipe running across a Textured Wall. 


This shot was captured outside a Telephone Booth. The walls outside were painted Red, Orange and White. I caught hold of the Orange and White Patch here.

I shot the intersection of the two colors, Orange and White. I kept the White Section on the right, fitting it into the Rule of Thirds area and the larger orange section to the left. Then, during editing, I converted the picture into Black and White.

This Minimalist Photo falls under Minimalism as Simple Geometry. Simple Geometry here being the Lines, namely: a) The Line formed by the Water Pipe running across the wall and b) The Vertical Line formed where the intersection of the different colored walls happen.

A Black and White Minimal Art Photograph of a Raindrops on a Wall.


As they say, make the best of whats available, I captured this Minimalist Photograph in my house. Last Sunday, I was all set to go out for a photowalk, but it started drizzling and therefore I decided to stay back. 

Since I only shoot in Sundays, I decided to switch to Plan B and that plan was to mount my Camera with the Macro Lens that I have and shoot Macro Minimalist Photography in my home/garden.

So What's different in the Composition? 

What I did here was to add that White Horizontal Bar on the Top of the frame, according to the Rule of Thirds. And all the Water drops are rolling downwards forming Vertical Lines.

The Art here is, that all the Lines formed by Raindrops (Water Drops) are Vertical and there is only one Horizontal Line, and that on is going across.

This wall is from the Car Parking Passage. EXIF Data of the photo is 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/4.5

  • Shutter Speed: 1/200 sec.

  • ISO speed: ISO-800

  • Focal Length: 100 mm

  • Metering mode: Spot

  • Exposure program: Manual

Hope you enjoyed the Raindrops Minimalist Photograph.
