Composition stumps a lot of photographers! But techniques adapted from the Gestalt Theory of Psychology can seriously improve your photography. It's like a shot of adrenaline to your composition skills.

Keep in mind that Gestalt Theory isn't directly about photography. Instead, it relates to how we see the world, especially how we group smaller objects into a larger whole. However, many of the main principles of Gestalt Theory can easily apply to photography, and help you take better photos, too.

The four principles of Gestalt Theory that I cover in this video are: the Law of Closure, the Law of Similarity, the Law of Common Fate, and Figure-Ground Organization. When you understand and master each one of them, your composition skills will greatly improve.

I hope you find this video useful, and let me know below if you have any questions or comments!
