An article that had these photos posted discusses what minimalist photography is and the point behind it. She talks about how a picture can have portrayed a lot of information but in minimalist photography, you can say something meaningful and powerful with less. She says this photography strips away unnecessary subject matter, to say and show what you want with as little as possible. She says that the trick is to say just enough and let the audience fill in the rest. You could conclude that it is a method of saying more with less using photography.
Obviously, the most challenging part of this is the composure, the other knowledge and skills are secondary to this. It clearly requires a high level of creativity to decide what exactly to include in the frame to get your point across. You also have to know what that point you are trying to make with your photo is before this. Minimalist nature photography is something that I want to pursue, but I know it will require a lot of work and practice.
