The longer I work as a photo editor, the more drawn I am to simple compositions, clean lines, and the minimalist aesthetic.
Some photographers do an amazing job of capturing busy, explosive scenes artfully so they don’t overwhelm the viewer. That is an incredible skill in and of itself. But it takes an equally good eye to capture a simple scene—sometimes a scene made up of almost nothing at all—while still engaging those same viewers.
The images 500px Content Editor Natta Summerky selected for her Gallery “Zen” are wonderful examples of this type of minimal photography. One or two elements, carefully arranged, beautifully captured, truly zen-like. Let them help you find YOUR zen today:
Check out Natta’s full Zen gallery here. And if you have your own zenful, minimal shot to share with the community, upload it to 500px and drop a link in the comments! We’d love to see it.
