What are the masters of minimalist photography?

Minimalism, also known as minimalism, is not what is called minimalism in modern times, but an art school that rose in the 1960s after the Second World War, which can also be called "minimalist art". Minimalism, as a reaction to abstract expressionism, has gone to extremes, presenting the original thing itself or form as a way of expression in front of the viewer, with the intention of eliminating the oppression of the author on the viewer's consciousness through his works. Minimize the sense of violence when the work appears in the form of text or symbol, open up the artistic conception space of the work itself, let the viewer participate in the construction of the work independently, and finally become the author of the work without specific restrictions. However, "minimalist photography" is logically derived from "minimalism" (nonsense! ), and about the origin of minimalism, I will have a chance to make up after I have a good look at the information. What I really want to say is that the concept of "ism" imprisons people's thinking. In line with Mr. Hu Shi's viewpoint of "less talking about doctrine and more studying problems", returning to photography, the simpler things are, the more impressive they are.

Iranian photographer Hussein Zarea shot a series of minimalist black-and-white photographs called Passers-by. In the work, a person walks in an open environment with a tree or a horizon as the background. Simple but accurate composition, like a few sketches. A quiet and lonely atmosphere suddenly appeared. Minimalist style originated from artists in the 20th century, using the least elements such as color, modeling, lines and texture. In the art world, this style is regarded as a very subjective concept, and its connotation and interpretation depend on the readers' own views on the works. Some people praise this style for its openness and free interpretation, while others accuse it of lacking guidance or theme. For photographers, this is not a problem, because most photos record fragments of real life. In any case, we can use some minimalist techniques to enhance the impact of the work.
