Keeping it simple is the basic premise of minimalism. Generally there will be a small number of elements in the photo. For this image of Duke, is the only element that is in focus, but he is set against a background that is blurred, but has an interesting texture. The rule of thirds is also utilized in the image to create energy/movement in the image.
