Reveries Of A Minimalistic World

The second edition of the Minimalist Photography Awards is a showcase of astounding imagery from all around the world, symbolic of the unique theme of the contest. The photographers submitted singles or a series of images based on their interpretation of the theme.

A renowned judging panel that features some of the biggest names from the industry—Enrico Stefanelli, Heidi Romano, Regina Maria Anzenberger, Douglas Beasley, Luca Venturi, Annette Fausboll, Florian Kazimirski, and the Founder and President of the awards, Milad Safabakhsh—went through 4200 photographs that were submitted in twelve categories. Organised by Black and White Minimalism Photography magazine, the award, a non-profit association, was introduced with the aim “to recognise, reward and expose talented photographers all around the world and introduce them to the professional photography industry.”

MINIMALIST PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR

Exit Vision: The ongoing series is a collection of photo collages, constructed using various elements from multiple locations. It was photographed using a medium format film camera. For Exit Vision, I would look for ready-made vignettes of colour and form in the built world around me, and then try and repurpose or reinvent them. By embracing the process of photo-assemblage or collage, these photographs have become creations as much as they are observations.
