While exploring South Congress for this project, I started to recognize that most of the subjects of my photos were similar in shape, color, and perspective. These three similarities are related to Gestalt’s principles of grouping, repetition, and proximity. Grouping is the relationship between the visual elements of an image by color, shape, location, and orientation. It also establishes a way of order and organization among these visual elements. Repetition is a constant aspect or effect within the image that is being repeated over and over again. Proximity is the distance between visual elements, and how they all work together to make up an image.
