NEGATIVE SPACE

The dark negative space adds a volume to the image that would not exist without it, as it creates a sort of subtle and relaxing persona for the image.

FIGURE GROUND

This image is a unique representation of figure ground relationship as you peer across a wall with a magnificent temple awaiting you.

GRID SYSTEM

I thought both of these images were rather appropriate to illustrate a grid system, because they both illustrate them as a window covering. I also thought the grid systems added a unique visually appealing aspect to the photographs.

HIERARCHY

Noticeably, there is a great sense of hierarchy in this image with the stacked cabinet-like form. While each box is stacked they get smaller creating a fun interplay between size and hierarchy.

EYE FLOW [CONTINUANCE]

With both of these images your eye is continuously drawn around and through them, in a constant manner.

GESTALT

I thought the median and sidewalk we an interesting case for gestalt, as they play with simple forms and you can view the image in a number of ways.

ALIGNMENT

Along the flooring in a temple in Ahmedabad the squares are perfectly aligned creating a unique pattern and from this angle an intriguing depth of field.

PROXIMITY

Proximity is when several element are used, yet you might at first glance only be seeing the whole rather, than the parts. Here I chose to show you a part of the whole, in hopes of evoking a sense of wonder.

SYMMETRICAL BALANCE

I know it might be a bit cliche to use the Taj Mahal for symmetry, but after standing in its presence there is no other object or things that I have ever seen that I could actually feel the symmetry, making it seem to impossibly exist.

ASYMMETRICAL BALANCE

The tower on the right sort of throws off the image, yet it still remain aesthetically pleasing, making it a prime example for asymmetrical balance.

SCALE

I thought the overwhelming gas station with the sun permeating behind along with the dark shadows, evoked a great sense of scale. While the bottom image shows my feet, which seem to look impossibly small despite the fact there is not much around them.

UNITY

A unique perception of unity, as it looks like there is two snake heads yet one body, giving the feeling they are unified in some way through the woven basket.

CONTRAST

I thought both of these were fun for contrast. With the first image you see a great big elephant face then with this bright red orange stripe across his forehead creating a surreal contrast. As well, with the second image the interplay between back and fore ground along with the colors create contrast.

PERSPECTIVE

A few similar, but unique points of view, making interesting and varying perspectives of what is within the images.

POINT OF VIEW

From my point of view looking up along the great City Palace in Jaipur.

MASS

A mass exodus of bugs, when apart small, but together look far more imposing.

REPETITION

Both contain various example of repetition, as it can happen in a variety of ways.

RHYTHM

Love this example of rhythm, as it is very soothing as your eye is drawn throughout the image, as if listening to music.

PROPORTION

The sense of proportion with the small child running through the high arches of the temple, creates a unique sense of proportion.

TENSION

Both of these images have varying degrees of tension occuring throughout them, from the intense reactions of the children to the electrifying chill of the first image.
