This article is based on concepts from the The Photography Action Cards if you want to dig deeper for further training. Many of us are spending a lot of time at home in recent days. Why not use this time to learn a fun and exciting photography technique called Minimalism? Photo by Henry & Co. The definition of Minimalism is a genre of photography that emphasizes the extreme simplification of form, as by the use of shapes, colors, tone, and negative space. To get started, you’ll need to locate some objects within your home that have interesting shapes and colors. Here’s some inspiration for you.

This Photographer Spent 12 Years Shooting the Same Window

Alper Yesiltas , a photographer and lawyer from Istanbul, Turkey, spent the last 12 years shooting photos of the same window. The project only came to a halt last year because the owner knocked down the building, but the images are very creative indeed. The window opened out from a corridor in an apartment block, and it was positioned right next to Yesiltas’ room. Yesiltas started photographing the window in 2005, and he kept shooting until its destruction on May 1st, 2017. The lace curtain provided a dynamic element to the photos, bringing a different look to shots depending on how the wind caught it on a particular day. The window was also captured under different weather and different light. And finally, Yesiltas captured the moment the demolition took place on on May 1st, 2017: You can see more of Alper Yesiltas’ work on his website and Instagram page.

With so many ways to be creative in photography, I get really excited with many ideas for a photograph. One area I find very interesting is sports action photography, but with a twist. It’s great to capture that split-second moment and have that frame frozen, but I wanted to explore capturing the motion and freezing the action all in one go. The 3-minute video above is of me using this technique with some karate students. I have used the strobe effect/repeating flash in the past during a dance shoot, which also captures the movement but freezes the movement with each burst of flash. The image below was captured during a dance session with my good friend and fellow photographer Phil Punton . I really like the repeating flash effect, but that’s 8 pops of the flashes that freeze each part of the movement. I wanted to capture more motion in my image. Using a couple of karate students, I decided to test out the idea using a continuous light source (the PixaPro 100D MkII LED ) to ca
