Minimalist Photography Awards Winners Show How Less Is More

A triptych: pastel desert landscape with a setting sun, a black-and-white photo of a woman with her face scribbled over in red, and snow-covered trees beneath a bare, branching tree.

The winners of the seventh annual Minimalist Photography Awards show that less is more, sometimes much more. Over 2,600 photographers from more than 50 countries entered this year's contest, each demonstrating the exceptional creativity in modern minimalist photography.
