This photograph belongs primarily to the genre of Black-and-White Fine Art Landscape Photography, with clear influences of Minimalism and Conceptual Composition.
The image depicts a wooden pathway cutting through expansive fields in Gilan, guiding the viewer’s eye toward the horizon. The use of black and white removes the distraction of color and places emphasis on form, texture, contrast, and spatial depth. The repetitive lines of the wooden planks and the converging perspective create a strong leading line, a classic compositional device in fine art photography.
The presence of two seated figures at the end of the path introduces a subtle narrative and emotional layer. Rather than dominating the scene, the figures appear small and contemplative, reinforcing themes of silence, connection, journey, and pause within nature. This balance between human presence and vast natural space is characteristic of poetic or contemplative landscape photography.
Stylistically, the photograph is:
Not abstract (the subject is clearly recognizable)
Not documentary in a journalistic sense
Fine art–oriented, where mood, symbolism, and composition take precedence over factual recording
