If you favour a more lo-fi, stripped-down approach, as exemplified by Michael Kenna, check out the winners of the second annual Minimalist Photography Awards. More than 4200 photographs from 41 different countries were submitted; Australian photographer, George Byrne, won the title of minimalist photographer of the year 2020 and a $2,000 prize for his series called &#8216;Exit Vision.&#8217;\u00a0Categories included Abstract, Conceptual, Architecture, Landscape, Night and Portrait.<\/p>\n\t\t<div  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 346px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"140097\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/george-byrne-1-326x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"326\" height=\"400\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">One of the images from George Byrne&#8217;s winning series<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>&#8216;As an approach in photography, minimalism or minimalistic photography could be taken by the photographer in all genres.
