Have you ever what is like to take photographs using minimalism? I will update this page from time to time.

What is minimalism?

Minimalism is a style or technique used to describe simplicity and extreme spareness.

Through my knowledge in minimalism, I applied this technique in my photo shots. Here are several photographs that I took.

These photographs are taken using Xiaomi Mi4i.

After taking with my smartphone, our lecturer told us to try taking photos using our DSRL camera. I used Nikon D3400 camera in this case.

I took these Chinese lanterns when I went to Kajang for a street photography trip.

After this exercise, I learned about minimalism and how is it applied in photography. I found that it is not easy to control the monochrome effect when taking the photo. Now, I am comfortable in controlling the exposure and improve gradually. I will practice more on this exercise from time to time.
