Key tips to capturing a great minimalist shot

Minimalism, an artistic movement that emerged in the United States in the 1960s, sought to feature the basic elements and eliminate non-essential components. In recent years, minimalism has been making a strong comeback and you're likely to find minimalist design in everything from product packaging and websites to photography and home interiors.

Some key tips for capturing a great minimalist shot:

 
Color: What many photos lack in subject matter, they make up for with color or contrast.
Composition: The "rule of thirds" applies here and will help when deciding how to frame your subject.
Keep it simple: Try to pick a striking and engaging subject that will catch the eye.

 
Strong lines: Strong horizontal or vertical lines lend themselves to strong composition, as they will give a solid structure to the image.
