One important aspect
that can be taken into consideration in photography is the use of lines. They
can have various effects on the picture and the viewer as well: either by
leading the eyes of the viewer or by creating patterns and shapes.
Another advantage of noticing
lines is in the rewarding nature of minimalist pictures. My favourite topic in
this area is the various kinds of windows and doors, of which we have plenty in
my village. Also in some situations there is another detail that helps the nice
parallel effect, like a rooftop or part of the fence. I have put the last picture
here because the otherwise straight line of the windows and the wall is refracted
by the broken pieces and the crumbled wall.
One really important detail that I
had to pay attention when taking these kinds of photographs was to hold the
camera perfectly horizontal. Of course a little slant can be adjusted in any
post-processing program, but in this case we might lose important elements of
the picture.
You can find some great
minimalist (and not only) photographs by Steve Johnson here.
