It’s been a while since we updated our #IOTD segment. Today’s iotd goes to Huxster who only started Instagramming this year. This graphic designer cum real estate agent is married to @moksva and they both have a son. Huxster says that he is not a photographer. He doesn’t even own a DSLR! Using only his iPhone 5, he captures his images and edits them using VSCO and Snapseed.
“The idea is just to have fun and see is there anyone out there would appreciate my kind of photography style,” says Huxster. For him, Instagram is the best platform for him to share his minimalism with the world. He appreciates photography of all sorts but for him, minimalistic art and photography is his cup of tea. He wishes for people to smile when they see his work, simply enjoying the simplicity, composition, lighting as well as value for each photograph he posts. He says that he met a lot of new friends and found fellow minimalists like him on Instagram. “They call me Huxsterized the ice cream man! haha.. because i brand my self by giving them ice cream emoji when i commented or replying to their comments. I used ice cream photo for my avatar and i post ‘ice cream post’ my way to say thanks to these awesome communities,” says Huxster.
The Royal Snapping Artist (@_rsa_minimal) scouted Huxster to join their family. Although inspired by many other minimalists, he says that his number one inspiration is his wife, @moksva and his son, Mikael. He photographed them before moving on to photograph strangers. He is more observant (compared to before) of buildings, walls, shadows, surrounding people and busy strangers. “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication,” says Huxster, quoting Leonardo da Vinci.
