Minimalism works! I’ve been drilling my students about minimalist photography so thought I’d better practice what I preach.
- Zoom in! Limit your photo to one/ two subjects in your viewfinder
- Limit colour; look for two or three colours max.
- Look for leading lines (diagonal/ vertical/ horizontal
- Photograph textures close up
This allows you to create some interesting grids; a great programme is www.pixlr.com express collage option. It’s super easy to use. Repeat your photos and then adjust > rotate them.

Send me your minimalist examples in comments please as I’s love to make a collaborative photo grid.
