Tips for Putting Colour in to Your Photography

Colour interest

Colour can add interest and emotional impact to your photographs; vibrant reds, oranges and yellows evokes energy while blues and greens are restful to our eyes.

Primary colours

The human eye is drawn to contrast in a photograph, along with its symmetry. One way of adding contrast is by using opposite primary colours of the spectrum to your images such as red against green, or yellow against blue, these contrasts in colour can hold a veiwers attention.

Vibrant blue contrasting with the yellow and the crisp, sharp lines gives this image real visual impact, a well taken image by Khalid Albaih

Isolate your subject with colour

Look for bright, vibrant colour on a neutral background, even a small amount of colour on your subject isolated from a neutral background gives real impact to a photograph.

Natural colours

Nature contains harmonious colours, just look at autumn trees, animals, and the colourful plumage of birds such as the peacock at the bottom of the page, but don’t just look at the big picture, insects such as the Dragonfly have really bold colours when seen close-up.

Pastel colours

Its not just the bright primary colours that makes an interesting photograph, muted pastel colours can add a softness and restful mood.

Mood

Whatever you like to photograph, colour, chosen wisely, with good composition, will reflect mood and will make your photographs really stand out.

25 Great Examples of Black & White Street Photography

I love street photography, it’s my favourite style of photography and it takes a brave photographer to go out and shoot people candidly but the rewards are definately worth it. I also think that black and white suit this style really well, so that will be the subject of today’s roundup post – as always thankyou to all the photographers who made their work available under a creative commons license on Flickr.
