This week’s theme is Minimalist photography. Minimalist photography is distinguished by extreme, austere simplicity.
It emphasizes spareness and focuses solely on the smallest number of objects in the composition process.
Keep it simple, use as few details as possible to convey a concept, create a strong composition, a unique visual experience or to tell a story.
An important issue of minimalist photography is to focus on only a limited number of objects and elements when creating a composition. Eliminate all but the most necessary elements of a composition, keep all destracting  and unnessesary details out of the photo.
Use strong leading lines or look for geometric patterns when composing your minimalistic photo. Architecture offers excellent opportunities to find geometric patterns, windows, staircases bridges and brickwalls are excellent places to find interesting patterns.

Good use of color and interesting textures are both key elements to minimalist photography. Some minimalist compositions even feature texture as the key component.
Try to use light to improve the texture and bring out the colors and contrast.

Look for subjects that stand alone against a simplified background.
