Minimalism

Minimalism is a style or technique characterized by extreme spareness and simplicity and involves composing a photo with a minimal number of components. It embodies the idea of “less is more.” The goal is to convey a concept or an idea to provoke an emotional response or provide a unique visual experience. This ensures that all the attention is focused on the photo’s subject without elements in the photo that would distract from the subject.
