We ran a Minimalist Photography Contest<\/a> <\/span>on Instagram and received over 800 amazing entries<\/a>!<\/span>\u00a0We are thankful to all the participants for contributing their images. The contest has helped us see\u00a0how Indian Instagrammers interpret the emerging photography trend of \u2018minimalism\u2019<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With this inspiration, we present a guide to Minimalist Photography. For those new to the concept, minimalist photography deals with creating impactful and visually soothing images by using fewer elements in the frame. It is the art of finding the joy of simple things and saying more with less. Minimalist photography is marked with key attributes of minimalism \u2013 simplicity, abstraction and paring down elements.<\/p>\n

    Play with\u00a0Scale<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

    Creating a sense of\u00a0scale is an important aspect of minimalist photography. Highlight the relative scale of the subject and background. Shooting wide frames with small elements for example creates a stark and intriguing effect.<\/p>\n
