Just what is Minimalism in photography?

The word minimalism describes a concept that refers to a work of art that is stripped down to its most fundamental features. The minimalist movement began in the 20th century and can be found in all forms of art. The idea is to have a work of art with a minimum number of colors, shapes, textures and lines. The concept is not very easy to describe, as it involves some abstract thinking and it can be interpreted in many ways.

In photography minimalism is somehow more open to creativity. But, it is also based on the general rules of minimalism in the other forms of arts. Generally speaking, minimalistic photography can be described as the art of “less is more”. Although in this type of photography, the composition is basic, with the right framing the subject in the photograph can be emphasized very nicely. Using fewer details in the picture can actually draw the attention to the subject more easily and it can appear to be more intense to the viewer.
