Regarding minimalist photography in general :

Minimalism is the art of less. As a life philosophy, minimalists focus on a few essential elements of life and cast unnecessary things aside. Same pretty much goes for this photography style. Minimalist photography uses a minimum amount of components such as color, shape, line and texture to emphasize the subject matter.
