Gestalt
Project 1: How do you make an image?
Gestalt- “An organized whole that is perceived as more than the sum of its parts.”
Gestalt Methods
Grouping: Group visual units by location, orientation, shape, and color
Containment: Format creates unity and determines positive and negative space
Repetition: The same element or effect over and over
Proximity: Distance between visual elements
Continuity: Fluid connection among compositional parts
Closure: Implication completed in the mind
I mostly shot at night. The lights on south congress are what caught my eye. I explored up and down south congress going from the traditional shopping and restaurant strip to the top of a parking garage on soco and riverside. It was interesting to me because I would shoot and forget the assignment at hand of gestalt and get lost in it and have fun; but then I saw that my photos I was shooting for fun still worked for my gestalt project. When editing my photos I really enjoyed the fade effect, giving the photo a dream or memory sense as an element to the photo.
Here are my photos!
