Learning the Art of Minimalism through B&W Street Photography
Details
Minimalism is indeed the art of less. Minimalists in art/photography focus on a few essential elements of life and cast unnecessary things aside. In the process the pictures turn out simple but impressive, depending deeply on your viewpoint and emotional appeal of the image. And Black and White works very well in this context.
So let’s meet to learn how by creating ‘empty’ spaces in a photograph you can actually accentuate the subject that you do include in your picture.
Meeting Place and Time:
In front of Clock Tower at TST Star Ferry , 4.30pm
We will meet in front of the Clock Tower at TST Star Ferry, 4:30pm,move around in groups of three members taking pictures, then regroup for a drink, socialising and photo sharing 6pm onwards at Delaney’s (Basement, Mary Building, 71- 77 Peking Road, TST, this Irish pub is located just opposite the landmark building Chungking Mansions).
