Power of Minimilasm in Fashion Photography

Ilham's Fashion & Beauty Shoot Series

There are many approaches that you can use inphotography that focuses on clothing, but goingwith a Minimalist background is sometimes awise choice. For fashion photography, the goal isto draw the eye to the best qualities of agarment. A viewer sometimes can be distractedby an excessively elaborate backdrop on thepicture.

Excessive detail in the background can also be a problemwhen some feature of it might be unappealing to theviewers, which then makes the clothing less appealing byassociation. However, the potential value of a Minimalistbackground should never be underestimated and I wassurprised to see how alive the details appeared allowingthe clothes at the center of the picture to shine.
