Minimalism in photography is characterized by extreme simplicity in composition where less is more. The focus is solely on the subject with a clutter-free framing and a stark lack of elements that could distract from the subject.

Minimalist images span across a wide range of genres – from landscapes and still life photos to street photography, and more. Such images evoke a sense of calm and peace, and make for exceptionally strong compositions when done right.

This post contains a collection of some compelling minimalist photos that are sure to inspire you to try this style of photography.
