Less is better:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The more minimalist you can make your composition<\/a>, the more you can maximize the emotions<\/a> in your photos.<\/p>\n

Practical tips:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Shoot high contrast black and white<\/a>, and use the LCD to preview the world in high contrast black and white. For example on RICOH GR II<\/a>, shoot in RAW but make your preview “high contrast black and white”. When you import your photos into Lightroom, apply “ERIC KIM MONOCHROME<\/a>” preset. <\/li>\n
  2. Simplify the background. Shoot with a flash<\/a> or just change your position to keep the background as minimal as possible. Study Richard Avedon<\/a> and see how he has his subjects stand against a simple white background<\/a>. <\/li>\n
  3. Study minimalist photographers like Saul Leiter<\/a> for color, or Daido Moriyama<\/a> for gritty black and white. Also Ernst Haas for color, or Ray Metzger for black and white. Contemporary street photographer: Rinzi Ruiz<\/a> is the ultimate zen minimalist photographer. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
