How to shoot this aesthetic

"The beauty of the resolved clean geometry, confident color, and zero unnecessary information"

Shot list

  • Top-down flat-lay where objects have been selected and arranged for their geometric regularity
  • Portrait against a pure-color background where the subject's clothing creates a second geometric plane
  • Close detail of an object with strong geometric form a perfectly round fruit, a cylinder, a sphere minimal composition

Lighting

Overhead softbox for flat even light with no shadow drama; the vector minimalist aesthetic is orthographic no forced perspective, no dramatic shadow, no depth that a flat vector could not contain
