One big curve formed by the Over-bridge, Street Lights in repetition and Two Wires running across the frame.


The Minimalist Composition looks tough, isn't it? 


Yes and No. This was full of clutter in color, but after turning the photo into black and white it looked fairly simple. Therefore, when your photos look cluttered in color, try turning them to black and white. This does away with a lot of distraction and makes the look simpler.

The composition


I started by aligning the big Over-bridge Curve first and then I let the "Street Lamps in Repetition", just fall in place. I made sure that the lamps were 90 degrees upright. The two wires running across the frame adds to the Minimalist Aesthetics beautifully. The photo falls under the Minimalism Category: Minimalism as in Repeating Shapes i.e the Four Street Lamps.

    1. Thank you Himanshu. I am glad that you appreciate Minimalism. Although the concept is new to India, I am doing my best to spread this via Minimalist Photography. Minimalist Living will surely catch-up later I believe.
