Minimalist photography is the art of capturing simplicity. In capturing minimalism, photographers need to push aside the desire to over-compose by adding too many elements to a photograph: anything that’s not absolutely necessary needs to be moved aside. What’s absent is the defining factor of minimalist shots, not what is there.
