MINIMALISTIC PHOTOGRAPHY DEFINITION

The Minimalistic Photography emphasizes in simple and usually monochromatic elements: colour, subjects or shape. It focuses on simplicity and its artistic style can be described as “less is more”. This style of photography can be portrait, architecture, landscape etc, as long as there is a minimal look at the environment. Common motifs in minimalist works include geometric or repeating patterns, contrast in line and texture, and emphasized depth and distance. This last element is often used to express a feeling of vastness and to try to capture the feeling of being in an incredible open space in nature.

SPORTS

Traditional photography related to Sports, professional or amateur, competition or training. Staged photos will not be accepted.

ARCHITECTURE

Photography related to Architecture, where the photographer is capturing photographs of buildings and similar architectural structures that are both aesthetically pleasing and accurate in terms of representations of their subjects and usually does not include the human element.

FRIENDSHIP

Photography that presents directly or indirectly the friendship, devotion and loyalty between humans and can also include their pets.
