Guidance:
A minimalist image is one stripped down to the barest essentials, and minimalism is a genre that celebrates simplicity, completely exemplifying the axiom that ‘less is more’ In general terms the visual elements that make up a photograph are commonly line, shape, form, tone, colour, pattern and texture. Normally a combination of these is used to develop a meaningful composition; by significantly reducing these elements much greater emphasis is placed on those that remain, and as a result the character of the image is changed.
