There are moments in every creatives' career where we run into creative blocks. So what to do when confronted with these barriers to inspiration? One of the best ways to push past the blockage is to step out of your comfort zone. Try a different style, get offline and visit a museum, read a book that you normally wouldn't pick up. Pexels is home to thousands of photos submitted by talented photographers every single day and this week, our curators have selected photos involving unique concepts to hopefully inspire you to try something new and different.

Minimalism, an artistic movement that emerged in the United States in the 1960s, sought to feature the basic elements and eliminate non-essential components. In recent years, minimalism is making a strong comeback and you're likely to find minimalist design in everything from product packaging and websites to photography and home interiors.
