This week’s topic in the Pet Photography Project 52 is “Minimalist”. Minimalist photography and minimalism in art in general can be characterized by sparseness and simplicity – a “less is more” philosophy. Because the subject matter can be sparse, color can be a prominent feature in minimalist photography along with texture, lines and geometry.
For my examples I used photographs of shelter dogs I took at the Miami-Dade Animal Services Pet Adoption and Protection Center. All these dogs are currently available for adoption. If you’re interested in learning more about these dogs or how to adopt them contact: Pets@miamidade.gov with A# to check availability/status/request medical records or call 305-884-1101. Miami-Dade Animal Services Pet Adoption and Protection Center is located at 3599 NW 79th Avenue, Doral, Florida 33166.

Wonderful examples and gosh, that orange is beautiful with that first dog. I hope they all find homes soon!
Absolutely love that color!
Love the orange! Is it a wall at the adoption center?
Thanks! Yes, the orange wall is part of an outdoor play area for the dogs.
Wonderful examples of less is more.
Great shelter dog photos, John. I love that background wall! The color is perfect for these dogs.
