Here I'am in California and we got temps in the 70's that about 30's C. I did get lucky today, I went to a local Botanic Garden for my Morning Walk and while video recording one of their fountains a Humming Bird came along and took a dip in the fountain and I got it on video. 😁 I'm switching from motorsports to Street-Urban-Nature photography.

Magnifiques vues minimalistes. J'adore ce genre de photos que je fais avec Leica M240, Summilux 35mm 1.4 Asph et Elmarit 24mm.

Excellent video and images. I love the purity and serenity of minimalism. Is it usually done with landscape? I have seen some with flowers. I just don’t have the eye for this yet. I prefer the snowy church scene. So clean and peaceful and I can hear the silence. Thanks for sharing your amazing talent.

since the topic is Minimalism, I'll say only one word - BRILLIANT!

Very impressive and beautiful footage ! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Mads. Excellent as always.

This is the first video I've seen of yours Mads. The photos are beautiful. The video is also very interesting. I need to save up for your Photoshop course, but its on the list.

I like the snowy black church photo where you zoomed in and the snow coming down is clearly visible against the church backdrop.

all the photos that you showed were amazing!!!....

Stunning beauty and inspiration! 👍👍👍👍

Congrats!!! Love your work and find it inspiring.

You articulated what I could not express,Thank You.

Very thought provoking. Excellent

Whatever name you give this style, these are some of the most impactful, beautiful photos I've ever seen. I absolutely love them! Thank you!

Thank you so much! Really, really appreciate it 😊

What an early morning treat this video is! Loved every single thing about this, and your photos are simply amazing!

Absolutely wonderful. Thank you for sharing your art, perspective, and in such a calm and inspirational way.

This is great! Love your work! Thank you for sharing your beautiful images and your techniques.

I appreciate the reflective discussion contrasting your vision, the concept of minimalism, and individual preference. Love your work and find it inspiring.

This is phenomenal work and an excellent video.

Absolutely fantastic, Mads. Thank you!

In the jungle of self-centered videos or videos without much added value, finding such a dense and interesting one is a godsend. Mille mercis and I will follow you from now on.

Thank you very much, I hope you'll find the rest of my channel just as little self-centered 😬👍

This video was my introduction to you and I really enjoyed your style, instruction, and discussion! Thank you!

The real value in this in understanding Mads's thinking at the time the images were created. Some great learning.

Amazing Shots!! Bravo !

You truly are a master of your craft Mads. I also love minimalist photography and have had some success. I take great joy in finding beauty where it’s easily overlooked and reducing it to the simplest elements possible. I will always remember that lighthouse photo you took and is in this video. Thanks for the inspiration.

Finally a minimalistic explanation I can understand. Thank you, you’ve refined my view.

Peter, Wonderful landscapes. Totally enjoyable tour of some of your work.

An outstanding piece of work on the nature of minimalism and its relationship to photography. It is an area that I strive to create within and this will help me in my journey.

Superb examples supported by your great images. Brilliant video Mads

SUPER video with a ton of info !!! Love how you explain it all. I find it sometimes difficult to find balance (if needed or not) in some of my minimalist photos ( similar as your photo @ 6:49 ) . Certainly with a lot of negative space I tend to crop. My favorite of the Black Church is the one with the threatening sky. Thanks a lot for this very useful video Mads !!!

I was just out today shooting minimalist photo's, I live in central Pennsylvania and we just had 2 feet of snow.......beautiful!

Loved this video .. all the photos are stunning

Informative, instructive and artistic: the combination makes for a thoroughly enjoyable video.

You are a true master photographer Mads! i loved this VLOG / tutorial , your images inspire me to get out and see what I can see. Have a fantastic Christmas& New Year. Cheers for Australia 😀🇦🇺📷

Great stuff! Thanks for sharing. I love minimalist art, however I rarely find myself making it. I'm drawn to complex scenes with numerous, visual elements. I'm stimulated by the visual relationship of seemingly unrelated elements and am drawn to capture the "choreography". I think I will need to work harder to produce a piece of minimalist work I like because it's counter to what my mind most naturally notices.

Beautiful work! Thank you.

Love minimalist Photography, I don't do it enough, your work is simply incredible, I've been following you for years! Thank you for all your videos, I've learnt a ton from your tutorials! 😉👌🏻👌🏻

Probably the best video about minimalist photography I have seen with very good examples.Thanks.

I absolutely love this video. It is a work of art in and of itself.

So much to learn from you. Your work is amazing. I always follow your work in Instagram. Waiting for more of such content. Thank you!

Loved the video and even more - your work! Thanks for sharing.

Brilliant insight Mads. Thanks MJ

Very inspiring and enjoyable video Mads!

Love your work,Mars!

I really like both the minimal church photos you showed, for different reasons. I like the left one because it's moody, conjures of feelings of mystery, curiosity, inquisition, foreboding, however, the one on the right conjures up feelings of calm, serene, a sense of relaxation. I like the left one more though just because I like taking darker, moodier, rich color, very detailed photos more than photos where most of the content is snowy white negative space. I really like the photos you took of the layered mountains and the one with the dark clouds above the pier/bridge. That's beautiful work.

I think both church photos are splendid. For the minimalist part I'll go for sure with the white. But personally I would hang both side to side on my wall. Feel like a Ying Yang duo.

Thats the beauty of photography as we all take different paths and through time develop our own tastes. As you said Mads definitions can be subjective and have seen others comment about someones style not fitting with what they believe is the definition of that genre. Even if the genre is not one that I wish to pursue it still doesn't stop me from appreciating what the other person has achieved. Personally at the moment, as well as landscape photography in general, I am really in to Black and White and for me its about the journey not the destination. Enjoyed your images today and delighted to see the subscriber count going over the 90K and excited to see you closing in on the 100K

For the longest time I had shot portraits and street and I am just starting to do Landscape photography mainly because I can do it with being exposed to people (COVID). Glad to had bumped into your channel, really informative and inspiring. Thank you for sharing this and All the Best.

Thank you for that- some great tips- can't wait to start traveling again-I miss taking photos-only so much you can do in one neighborhood during a pandemic....thanks again.

Excellent video on clarifying minimalism in landscape photography and to what point a work of art can be classified as minimal.

I have watched a ton of KZread videos on the topic of photography over the years. Most, if not 95% of the presenters are talking heads -- and the photos they display suck so I get uninterested very fast -- if you cant shoot yourself -- what possibly can you teach me? You my friend are super talented and I walked away learning something through your tutorial. Thanks. BTW: I am forcing myself to learn how to shoot black and white. I just bought a Leica Q2 Mono. Not because I am super rich -- but I want to learn a new trick so to speak. Its hard. But if you ever have a chance to do a video on black and white -- I'm sure you would crush it -- and teach me a ton more than those who say they specialize in it.

Thank for your ideas ❤️❤️🙂

Fantastic video. Thanks for sharing.

Great video with superb photos. Thank you.

Well explained you have a calm way of conveying

Wonderful video! It made me wanna do minimalist style landscape photography

I truly love the way you think and explain your art and the views you have. Thank you for another great video.

I purchased both of your landscape composition ebooks. Well done and money well spent.

Another great one. I liked the way you showed the screen, keep it up

Very interesting! Thanks Mads!

Thank you for your informative explanation, now, I must practice, practice, practice. Cheers!

What an absolutely wonderful view on it. Art is subject to interpretation. And no matter my or your message, it is how the person receives it. That makes the difference.

An extremely well thought out piece on this subject. It is a genre I really enjoy and work in a lot and this is one of the best introductions to it I have seen.

Great video and nice tips. Beautiful pictures with perfect processing. Looking forward to incorporating some of your tips on my next attempt at landscape photography (wildlife is my usual domain).

Well explained, very informative. Thank you.

I really appreciate your take on the minimalist esthetic. So many photogs call their work “minimalist” just because it’s single subject, black and white, or they used IM. You know your stuff and can easily explain what it is to be minimalist. I think the cropping examples were an excellent way to show how a composition becomes minimal. 👏👏👏

The video in of itself is pure art.

Great explanation and beautiful photos 👏👏👏

Fantastic video. Nice to see some amazing examples of how to take minimalist photos. I think my favourite is the horses as it is seems so peaceful. I do try and use my telephoto lens from time to time, maybe I should look at wider focal length as well after seeing some of your examples.

Simply brilliant !!

Thanks A Lot its so helpful and...beautyfull

Wowwwww!!!!!! mindboggling picture 👌

Marvelous episode, Mads! I like both versions of your Black Church, but if I would have to pick one, it would be the snowy version. However, my preference would be to hang both next to each other on a light gray wall with the snowy version to the right. I also appreciate your occasional adventures into B&W ... Whatever you call it, minimalistic or simplified photography, your photos convey a certain simple visual elegance.

Great video.. thanks Mads❤

This is the first time I've watched one of your videos, and it's superb. I'll start watching the rest of them ASAP!

Thank you. Found this channel by change and love it. Looking at your course and ebook. A lot of people on KZread selling courses. I look at the work first and then say yes or no. I'm sold on yours. As they say the proof is in the pudding.

My favorite video to date Mads. You are an excellent image maker, storyteller and educator. Thanks for sharing yourself with us.

Great video, I understand it better now. Thank you

As an avid amateur photographer, I personally find a minimalist image much more engaging when is is taken as a monochrome. There is a greater degree of contrast and mood which enhance the simple composition. This is of course a personal creative choice for the photographer! As always, I look forward to your weekly "Inspirational" videos! Thanks from Alberta, Canada! Craig.

Great! Very inspiring and encouraging, thank you

Very nice. You make it look it easier than it is. While most of us are preoccupied with the technical aspects (what focal length lens, ISO, shutter speed etc ...), the most important part is composition. Developing an eye for composing a minimalist photo takes concentration and practice.

Impressive! Thankyou!

Thanks for sharing...very good video

Outstanding photos that really help to illustrate your points about simplicity and minimalism, Mads! I am enjoying your Photoshop course very much.
