I've never given minimalist photography much thought before, mainly because I wasn't aware there was actually such a thing. I stumbled upon the term recently when I shared this photo in an online group and jokingly referred to it as minimalist photography. I quickly became aware that much of my photography falls within the realm of minimalist photography, as I often photograph dewdrops, raindrops, snowflakes and other macro images.

Simply put, minimalist photography focuses on a simple, isolated image making use of negative space, color and texture to highlight the subject. Basically it follows the rule of "less is more" and can create a striking image that is free of competing elements or distracting backgrounds. I find minimalist photography effective for highlighting the beauty and intricacy of nature.

From what I have read, this technique is controversial and viewers tend to either love or hate it.

Which camp are you in? Love or Hate?
