Minimalist Photography - Show less say more!

In this video, entitled Minimalist Photography "Show less say more" I show the strong impact that less information in your images can have.
Minimalist Photography is pretty close to Fine Art Photography. Some would actually say they're the same. I make a small distinction between them both and in landscape photography, it's all about the horizon. I explain what I mean by this in the video.

Definitely the lighthouse. For years I have had a picture in my mind of the style of photography I wished to develop, and then I stumbled across this video; it’s like I’ve come home. Thanks for the images mate. They are extraordinarily beautiful .

I have been up at new Brighton lighthouse lol with a friend and this video has helped a lot in are photos thank you Gary for sharing. Look forward to more of your work

[@susanfirth2279]

Great video Gary. Loved the images, my fave was the lighthouse at 12:06 - the soft colours. I really got a sense of scale of the size of the breakwaters when you were walking amongst them, I didn't think they were that big. Nice perspective of them as well. As long as you are safe!!! Talk to Adam Gibbs about wellies.

[@GaryGough]

Thanks Susan. I love my Muck boots but even though they have a walking sole, they're still damn slippery. Gibbsy has the same boots as me :)

[@fubeyside]

Another great video Gary, i went to Dovercourt Bay to photograph the lighthouse and was really pleased with the results. Keep up the good work Gary.

Excellent video Gary, never been to photograph there but quite often fancied a trip as we have a workshop in Wallasey, so could combine work and photography. In relation to non slippy wellies, I was a fly fisher and you can get thigh waders and then a pair of wader boots with studs, non slippy even on the green stuff. All the very best and thanks for another informative and interesting vlog, appreciated.

[@GaryGough]

Gary, get some wellies with studs on the bottom they help a lot. You can also buy studs to put on existing wellies (they look like little screws).

[@GaryGough]

Studs for wellies? I paid £90 for my Muck boots. You'd think they would have better soles. I'll look them up. Cheers

Beautiful spot! Wonderful shots! Congratulations for your new drone! Greetings from southern Chile!

[@G0FUW]

Adam Gibbs advocated some wellies with Vibram soles, same as walking boots, but I have some walking boots with Vibram soles and they can be quite slippy too. Minimalist vs Fine Art? Labels with no hard and fast meanings in my book. Thanks for sharing Gary, good to see you out and about again.

Loving these long exposure shots Gary. I live by the sea and can't spend too long away from it and in my humble opinion these type of images you have produced recently are my favourite of yours. I personally think minimalistic and fine art are perfect bedfellows.

Wonderful Photos and drone shots! AND excellent choice for your musical soundtrack! Naming the composer(s) give them better exposure, don't you know.

[@GaryGough]

Very true. I usually do. Point taken though 👍👍

[@NickCoburnPhillips]

Whether there's a horizon or no... Minimalism and fine art - are intrinsically linked. I think minimalism, aesthetically - is much easier to define and depict - than 'fine art'... Hence, this leads me to my thought on 'fine art'... and that is ~ 'how refined that art is'... !? Food for thought... Thanks Gary... :)

[@GaryGough]

I agree totally with your analogy Nick 👍👍

"I've never been so precariously placed taking photos". Made me chuckle. That's exactly what I thought when I took a similar shot there last year. That and "what the hell are you doing, you're a 48 year old man scrambling over rocks for a bloody photograph". Great video and shots as always.

Dear Gerry, What insanely beautiful pictures. For you, it is only a 30-minute journey to the location where you took these photos. Much longer for me from the east of the Netherlands.
