Minimalist photography has been around for years and it's been around for a long time. There is a reason for it popular. First of all, canvas prints the picture is clean and there is no extra interference to disturb the viewer's vision. On the other hand, the extremely simple elements screen colors on another level. The simple color matching makes colors have more impact in the picture. Minimalist photography has thus become one of the styles of many photographers. In daily life, they will always look for space to take simplified content.

And minimalism is not a new thing, in any art form, photo canvas prints including sculpture, painting and so on have the concept of minimalism, although fewer elements, but this does not mean that minimalism is easy to manufacture, on the contrary, it more need you to use finite element to shape the content of the infinite space, on some level more embodies the art of a creator.

That called minimalism, keyword "Jane" means extremely clean, not doping, elements in the picture should have its practical use, even though we know it is difficult to achieve in the real world, as far as the eye can see us, always will inevitably appear such as interference, late unless use way, otherwise it is difficult to achieve real "minimalism". Probably every photographer who wants to photograph this type of photographer has to think about it.

Like any photo, a story is the most important thing a photo can convey to the audience. In minimalist photography, you want to tell the story as efficiently as possible, which means having a clean background, proper negative space and a clear theme. It is believed that no one wants too many disturbing elements in the picture to disturb the narrative of the story, so as to introduce the audience's perspective into another inexplicable direction. Keeping the background clean, whether through the virtualization process, pure color or simple texture, can easily eliminate unnecessary interference.

In landscape photography, the use of negative space is needed, both experienced photographers and artists, all on their own images of deliberately to keep part of the space, this part of the space without any decoration, can be completely black, also can be fully bright, although the space and humble, but for foil theme has important effect. As for the picture surrounding the mountains, the clear blue sky is an obvious negative space, and part of the blue sky will set off the magnificent beauty of the mountains.

In portrait photography or still life photography, one of the consequences of using a large aperture to shoot the subject is to create shallow depth of field. The subject is blurred outside the subject, while the subject is completely separated from the background, forming two mutually non-interference Spaces. Although the picture is blurred, it does not blur the theme, but saves the subject from the disturbing elements in the background.

Another important element in constructing minimalist photography is color, which creates contrast by using color. In a simple picture, two or three colors are used to juxtapose each other and highlight them in the image to enhance the image's attractiveness.

Most of the time, minimalist photos tend to use large areas of flat color to create simplicity, but you still need to understand color, understand the role of different color combinations, to create harmony or to create conflict. Then, depending on the nature of your theme, choose the right complementary colors to enhance your theme.

If it is black and white, we should pay attention to the proportion of black and white in photos, the contrast between black and white, and the role of gray tone in works. Minimalist photography is usually the picture is very simple, the photographer trying to use the simple element (point, line, face) to lead the viewer into the right direction, in your work, any element may be will guide the audience's eyes, so more need to reduce the number of elements to describe the story in the photo.

In our daily life, "line" elements can be seen almost everywhere, whether it is the outline of buildings, the extension of roads, or the distant sky, it is the existence of "line" elements in daily space. However, because they can be seen everywhere, they are more likely to inevitably appear in the picture to interfere with the vision. When composing the picture, the orientation of the "line" in the picture should be analyzed.

Texture can also be a powerful expression element in photographs. Due to the limited linguistic space of minimalism, texture is often used as a theme, and they often appear in the form of repeated patterns, conveying content to viewers, including emotions, including light, including darkness.

As a photographer, the only way to improve yourself is to keep trying to take pictures and thinking, so that you can innovate your creations and make your works attractive.

Although minimalism is still very popular today, most people's minimalism is just a simple content in the background of a picture, Animal canvas wall art prints and it cannot effectively express the theme and emotion. Emotion is the soul of photography, and the theme is the focus of a photographer's creation.
