Minimalism..?

“other opinions are available” is a get out clause.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion does not mean that all opinions are valid.

Indeed seeing the results of some ‘opinions’ on the news nightly does not make me believe that allowing the unthinking a ‘voice’ is a healthy endeavour. Sometimes it’s better to curtail discussions by telling people they’re idiots, for the good of everyone

Eliminating unnecessary details isn't minimalism. https://www.tate.org.uk/art/art-terms/m/minimalism

In photography minimalism generally means having the subject very small in a lot of negative space, or no discernable subject at all, just patterns or blocks of tone/colour. https://fraenkelgallery.com/portfolios/hiroshi-sugimoto-seascapes

Artistic terms used in photography tend not to have the same meaning - eg "creative"......

Unfortunately idiots don't like being told they are idiots! See for example flat earthers and chemtrail believers.

Have you seen Georgina Steytler's photographs?

They’ll strongly defend that they’re entitled to their opinion though

Feels like its another technique that is good to master in composition. To be able to (if its a landscape) get the horizon right and still be able to steer the viewers eye through and around the photo, even if theres minimal things to be able to do that with.
