Cítíte, že vašim fotografiím něco chybí? Minimalismus může být správná cesta pro vás. Fotografování může mít pro každého jiný význam – od potěšení z brzkého vstávání a čekání na ideální okamžik po vzrušení z práce ve studiu. Někteří sledují technické trendy, jiní se zabývají filozofií fotografie. Mnozí fotografové se však dříve či později zastaví a zamyslí se nad tím, proč vlastně fotografují a co pro ně fotografie znamená. Tato kniha je takovým zastavením a hledáním cesty, kde autor představuje minimalismus jako přístup, který sám přijal. Minimalismus se netýká pouze kompozice, ale zahrnuje i výběr objektů a přístup k technickému vybavení. Klíčové otázky, na které se autor zaměřuje, jsou: Jaký jsem fotograf? A jakým fotografem bych chtěl být? Zajímavé jsou úvahy o estetice a historickém vývoji názorů na fotografii, přičemž autor zmiňuje vliv významných fotografů. Tato část dějin fotografie by měla být známa každému fotografovi. Kniha je doplněna fotografiemi, které ilustrují autorovy názory a mohou inspirovat ty, kteří hledají cestu k minimalistickému přístupu.
