What motivated me to click this shot "Cutting the Arrow"  was the Black Wire cutting across. 

To begin with, I was standing too far from the White Arrow, and because of that the Black Wire was nowhere near it.

I kept moving towards the White Arrow till the time I had the Wire cut it (visually) approximately in half. 

Note: this is a Look Up / Looking-Up Minimal Shot and it falls under the Minimalism as Less Elements Category of Minimalist Photography.

I found this part of Jawahar Kala Kendra (JKK) newly painted. This is the Area at the front entrance. 

I usually enter JKK from the parking area, but today while I was on my way for the parking, I spotted this.

Thank you JKK for another Minimal Art Photograph.

As you can see from the composition, this Photograph is all about Lines and their interaction with a Small Pipe. 

Therefore I categorized this under Minimalism as Simple Geometry. (as lines dominate the frame).

Railing Shadow Vs Bicycle Tyre

Minimalism as Less Elements

A Black and White Minimal Art Photograph of Long Shadow of Railing Vs a Part of a Bicycle Tyre. 

I spotted the Long Shadow of the Railing first and then I included a part of the Bicycle Tyre to the bottom right of the frame, leaving a lot of negative space on the left. 

This ain't Parts of the Whole Minimalism (because of just the part of a Bicycle Tyre), but rather Minimalism as Less Elements. 

When I don't find subjects, I try and create newer ones from the elements available on the streets. 

This picture from Johari Bazaar, Jaipur, is an example of such a frame. I wish I could travel outside Jaipur, so that I can click newer shots with newer elements and backdrops. I have been shooting Minimalism in Jaipur for 5 years now. Somehow me travelling outside to shoot hasn't happened yet.
Hopefully Soon enough.

The EXIF Data of the Photo is as follows:

• Camera Model: Canon EOS 6D Mark II

White Triangle

Minimalism as Simple Geometry

On another Sunday while I visited Jawahar Kala Kendra, I visited a Design Exhibition held by INIFD, Pearl Academy Jaipur etc.

The Exhibition was on the first floor and there were sketches of Fashion-wear, some Paintings and even Photographs on the walls. They were also enrolling students for design courses.

Surprisingly, one girl approached me and asked me whether I was looking to get enrolled for a design course. Of course, I said No, but I was happy that she considered me young enough for it, aka probably a teenager ;) I am 37 by the way, now. Haha.

Anyways, While one my way back, I saw this Triangle being formed between the Side Rails of the Staircase that I was supposed to take on my way out.

I flipped the screen to the LCD view, Selected the Monochrome settings and Focused right on the White Triangle.

I took about 6-7 shots and about 5 minutes to finish shooting, as a lot of people were coming in the frame.

5 Minutes Later, I knew I had my Minimalism as Simple Geometry Photograph :)
