Bare Necessities – Minimalist Photography With Prakash Ghai

Minimalist Photography is a post-modern style of photography that captures the simplest and the smallest objects. These objects form a part of our everyday lives and often are ignored from a human perspective. Experience a minimalist world as curated by Prakash Ghai in Jaipur, the heart of Rajasthan.

Inspired by the work of 20th-century artists, this technique is used to highlight the geometrical and introspective aspects of the environment to create a visual treat. It follows the principles of simplicity to convey the concept clearly and concisely. It runs on the symmetrical elements of the subject to deliver an artistic picture highlighting the psyche of the person behind the lens.

Did you know? In the 1950s, Frank Stella was one of the first few Minimalist photographers whose Black Paintings were exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1959.

A successful businessman and a passionate photographer, Prakash Ghai is an inspiration to many. He began his journey in December 2012 with a 5 megapixel Canon Camera and a few stationery products as his subjects. And he has come a long way. He is a global curator and promoter for Learn Minimalism label. Till date, he has curated about 5,50,000 images submitted under the #LearnMinimalism on Instagram.

Parkash Ghai’s studio can be anywhere from a park to a building to narrow by-lanes of the old city. He carries his camera and with his creative eye, every nook and corner become his studio. He will give you a tour at Jawahar Kala Kendra where he will show you a lot of elements that are of great importance in photography, especially minimalist photography.
