To make great photos, strive to make strong and simple compositions.

Simpler to reveal the soul

AVEDON in his “In the American West” project photographed his subjects against a simple white backdrop, and in monochrome. As a result, there are no distractions between you and the subjects of these photos.

The visual impact of a simple photo — simple silhouette.

The simpler, the more elegant, and the more beautiful.
