April — A Year in Photographs — Minimalism / by Adrian Galli

Traffic Cones — Day 110

Minimalism is both my favorite and most challenging photography subject—perhaps people are too. I spend my time wondering to find something that fits the description, which is a challenge to define as is.

Is ‘minimalism’ in photography few items in the frame? No color? High contrast and removing significant details? As with most subjects in photography, there are rules, but most rules I find to be an excuse to be lazy.

Walking down a city street, passing trash cans, cars, people, lights, windows, and sometimes it being cold, warm, sunny, or raining, perhaps minimalism is the act of finding less in a place where there is abundance.
