Helpful Tips and Neat Ideas for Minimalist Photography

We are often used to very lush, intricate, and multi-layered landscape photos with rich, vibrant colors. There is certainly nothing wrong with that, but it is not the only way to create an image. At the other end of the spectrum is minimalist photography, and it comes with its own unique challenges. This excellent video tutorial will give you a wide variety of helpful tips to improve your minimalist photography and give you some ideas to try yourself. 

Coming to you from Photo Tom, this great video tutorial discusses minimalist photography, including some tips for improving your images and creative ideas to get you started. I have always admired proficient minimalist photography; it is an especially challenging style, as the line between minimalist and overly simple is often razor-thin, and even minor variations in composition, angle, settings, editing, and way more can be the difference between a compelling photo and one that needs work. Still, despite its difficulty, it can be really rewarding when you get it right, and the images can be particularly entrancing. It is a great way to expand your creative palette and get outside your normal habits. Check out the video above for the full rundown.
