Week 1 – Minimalism | 2026 Photo Challenge

Minimalism

The theme: MINIMALISM

Hard way: One subject, one color, no cropping

Minimalism in photography is about saying more with less. By stripping a scene down to its essential elements, the focus shifts to shape, light, color, and intention. In this challenge, I’m looking for simplicity, clean compositions, and quiet moments where a single subject can carry the entire frame.

Have I manage to do it? NO definetly not… I was all over the place, but at the same time I’ve learned a lot and the most important thing was that I enjoyed being outside and doing photography again. Maybe I will go out later in the year and I will redo this theme finding my balance and looking for better compositions.

See the YouTube video for this week:

Here are a few shots taken for this week’s challange. Below the gallery I will show you my favorite shot.

Final Thoughts / Next Week Teaser:

Some of the photos are clearly not strictly minimalism, but as a first photo walk and challenge, I’m happy with the results. I really enjoyed being out in nature.

Next week, I’ll tackle Week 2 – One Color, where I’ll restrict my shots to a single dominant hue.
