Minimalism

what is minimalism?

 Minimalism is a modern idea within the 20th century,it is about specific components such as color,shape,line and texture.It is highly subjective as artwork itself. leaving interpretation and meaning up to the viewers perception of the work.Some photographers use this in order to tell a story of a act of photojournalism but in a easily presented manner to the audience. 

the best aspects are surrounding  the openness and embracing the freedom of interpretation.There is no real direction to minimalism but photographers can still focus on issues or a specific subject matter. Some other photographers would argue it is about simplicity and the audience creating their own feel or interpretation of the image itself. Some techniques are consistently used to employ and enhance the impact of the work.There should be  a consistent notion that is wanting to be captured.

It can be seen within this piece in order to direct attention to a specific point of view,possibly because this kids the most detail or it is aimed to promote a certain aim of development within the image itself. The images are developed through a certain line within the mage,a certain single aspect of the image,or a texture.

My experiment within minimalism:

within these photos I simply wanted to capture the lines and highlights within the piece itself. I then decided to further edit these images to create more of a colour impact to the piece itself.

here you can see the final  edited image that I have lowered the saturation for and also developed the thickness and how dark the lines are to give a greater focus on the minimalist dimensions of the piece itself.
