Today, I'll teach you how to take minimalist photos for Instagram. Neutral tones + negative space is a great theme for a lot of feeds, but there's a lot more that you can do to step up your minimalistic photography

    just an advice from a burntout creator. if u shoot photos to grow in a specific platform then go do it. but if you're taking photographs that YOU aren't HAPPY with, i guess u should stop. these trends come and go and honestly when it eventually does, you'll feel lost if it's not ur true style. anyways, this youtuber is so underrated.

    I've never known what Minimalist shots were, but now that I know how to identify them I do find them to be very interesting and "seemingly' easy to do. I think it would definitely be something I'm interested in attempting. These tips were great in my opinion because when I apply them to the Minimalist Photographers I follow, I see these tips applied in their work.

    I really liked the point that everyone knows what a car looks like, so you don't have to show the whole thing. I forget that often. I take a lot of pictures where it's not the whole item, but it's also not focused on a detail - just half of a car, or something. It would be really interesting to challenge myself to go out and take pictures of JUST the taillight or JUST the wheel - stuff people know but might be more interesting than pictures of a whole car.

Right to the point, good energy, nice set up + video editing, no bs, good photos to show, nice explanation, no cringe stupid stuff, just professional. Keep at it dude, you gain 1 more sub hahaha you make awesome content!
