Description

Gestalt is a German word that refers to the “essence or shape of an entity’s complete form”. The Gestalt Theories of Perception were first put forth in the early 1920’s. Research reveals a complex and detailed collection of fascinating experiments,hypotheses,and ideas. The field is very broad –but we’re going to focus on some of the very basic concepts that can be applied to art in general –and photography in particular.

This has been one of our most popular eBooks. In it,we discuss a variety of basic gestalt concepts,including:

Strategies for separating objects of interest from the background in an image,
Ideas for using individual objects to lead the eye of the viewer,
Suggestions for increasing the impact of your images,
…and much more!

The Gestalt principles discussed in this eBook are a natural extension of the basic compositional rules of photography. Perception:The Gestalt Principles and How our Brains Interpret What We See is an essential addition to the complete photographer’s library.
