Minimalism phase 1

     I would define minimalism in photography as a photo so simple that there may be almost nothing to it, but it still manages to capture the viewers attention. The image uses other elements such as space, color, contrast, and symmetry/asymmetry to make the photo interesting rather that filling the whole photo with detail




     I think that these images are good examples of minimalism because there is not too much going on in any of them. They are all very pleasant to look at, and I find them interesting. Keeping the backgrounds simple in each of them helps the smaller details stand out while still keeping the overall picture very simple and interesting.

This photo is a picture of a woman doing her laundry. She hung her clothes on the telephone wire so she must climb on a tall ladder to reach them.

In the foreground, midground and background are the telephone poles, extending back as far as the viewer can see in the picture. Th...
