Minimalism is a style employed by many 20th Century artists, using a minimum amount of components such as color, shape, line and texture. Within the art world it is considered an extremely subjective concept, leaving interpretation and meaning up to the viewers perception of the work. The rule is to keep it simple but that doesn’t mean it needs to be boring or uninteresting. The subject has to be the strongest element of the shot, even though it may not take up the majority of the frame. Achieving a strong compositional element to a minimalist photo is absolutely key in enhancing the impact of the shot.
