Simplify your Composition


For successful minimalist photography, first, simplify your composition. Remove any superfluous element of your frame, only leaving in focus the subject you wish to portray. Look for clean lines and incorporate symmetry or simple geometric shapes. Don’t forget to leave empty spaces to allow your composition to breathe.

Embrace Light and Shadow Plays


Light and the shadows it creates are crucial. Experiment with contrasts to achieve striking graphic compositions in your pictures. Play with shadows to add depth to your images and beautifully emphasize shapes and textures.

As with any style of photography, find the right balance and avoid underexposing or overexposing your image. For a large-format print with dark tones or a black and white large-format print, choose a Matte Plexi photo without reflections, a luxurious finish favoured by many professional photographers. 
 

Monochrome and Tonal Gradations


Colour is essential to achieve success in minimalist photography. Select a palette of simple and harmonious tones, either in tonal gradations or monochrome, a particularly sophisticated style thanks to its subtle variations in shades.

Black and white is always a chic and graphic option for a beautiful minimalist picture.

 

Play with Depth


Experiment with depth of field to highlight your main subject and create an artistic blur effect around other elements. Use a wide aperture to isolate your subject over its background and achieve clean images.
