Minimal compositions

Minimal compositions are one of the best ways to take a beautiful photo. Simple photos are usually the most beautiful and attractive photos. In this type of images, by using the empty space around the subject, you focus the entire photo on the subject. In the minimal style of photography, one subject or at most two subjects is used, and in fact, details are removed from the images of this style of images. But in general, the concept of the image is understandable. I took this photo of the bird at „Kemnader See” Lake in “Bochum”. The picture is very simple. Bird, wood and water. But despite its simplicity, it gives the viewer a sense of calmness. In most cases, simplicity gives better results than complexity. The minimal style gives a different and new view to the viewer and this factor has made this style special. In this photo, I also tried to remove the extra elements to draw the viewer’s attention to the bird sitting calmly on a stick in the lake. The point that minimal photography focuses on the simplicity of things does not lead to dullness of the photo. In fact, using this style, you can make attractive photos and find a special and strong subject so that you can express your purpose in the best way. In this photo, in addition to the bird, wood and water, you can see the reflection of the bird in the water and also two small pieces of wood in the water, which makes the photo more attractive. The reflection of the bird in the water indicates the calmness of the lake water. Photographing empty spaces, single elements, simple lines, geometric patterns and contrasting colors is the best way to get the desired result in minimal photography. Although this type of photography seems simple, sometimes taking minimalistic pictures can be harder than you think. In this method, finding the right subject, shooting angle and photo composition may take some time and you need to experience different situations. The use of negative space or empty space is one of the features of minimalist photography. Negative space allows you to create a sense of scale in an image. This sense allows the viewer of the photo to have an idea of the size of the subject and to guess how big or small it is. Using a simple background is essential for minimalistic photography. In this type of photography, there should not be any distracting elements or patterns that want to take attention away from the main subject.
