This may be as minimalist as it gets. No actual photo, just test strips

Minimalist architecture (an old monastery in Seattle). It makes a great art gallery.

Considering the forum in which you posted this, I'm trying to figure out if you consider minimalism ethics, philosophy, or bit of both...

At the OP's request, I looked for a better location for this thread, but couldn't find one that fits perfectly.
So I decided to move it to "Abstract", because the idea of Minimalism itself is fairly Abstract.
Best I can think of, but not ideal.

Minimal everything. Minimal subject. Minimal camera (converted electron microscope camera body, pinhole in 3-speed shutter), minimal film (J&C Classic 400), minimal development (homemade developing tube with homemade Parodinal developer), minimal printing (traditional cyanotype).

Agree, I think of Minimalism a subset of Abstraction.

Having posted that, I'm a "Maximalist" and I could not find anything to contribute. Maybe I'll take some pictures today in the Minimalist style so I can contribute.

As close as I can come. Has some elements of reductionism tonal wise.

The shape is white and black, no mistake, with white taking the role of defining the form of this car. Black only helps filling in the remainder of the imagination needed.

Nikon FM3A, Rollei Retro 400.

I would have to dig back through my negatives. I visited this subject a couple of times, once with 35mm (likely plusX) and once with Mamiya 645 and likely Tmax) No real editing applied except for size. Scanned on Epson 4990. Negative is from either 1995 or 1997.
