MINIMALISM 

Minimalism in photography emphasizes simplicity, clarity, and the removal of unnecessary elements. It revolves around the notion of "less is more," where the photographer's primary objective is to distill a scene down to its essential components, eliminating distractions and extraneous details. Minimalistic photographs often feature clean lines, geometric shapes, negative space, and a restricted color palette. By reducing the visual elements to their bare minimum, minimalistic photography conveys a sense of tranquility, elegance, and harmony. It invites viewers to engage with the subject in a contemplative manner, appreciating the beauty that lies within simplicity. I find that fog helps a lot in the construction of these types of images too.

Jon Rendell was born into an auteur/photog family in Melbourne, Australia, in 1957 and grew up around cameras and film. He honed his craft under renowned photographer Athol Shmith at what is now Swinburne University (Prahran Campus, Melbourne). He was always captivated by shadows and finds himself hard-wired to focusing on the transitory, abstract shapes that come and go with the available light. For more of his photography in Scene4, check the Archives.
