Understanding Color and How to Use It to Express Your Creative Vision
The complexity of color is often overlooked by photographers. Most understand the basic concepts of how to adjust color during post production, but they don't often consider the effects the colors in a photo have on one another or how they impact the look and feel of their images.
This is a special two-session version of this class that adds additional content previous attendees requested. It will take you deep into the world of color for an exploration of the technical aspects of color, as well as the emotional impact color can have in a photo. After this class you will never look at color the same, in your photos or the world around you. Subjects include but are not limited to:
Week 1: Exploring Concepts
Understanding the scientific and emotional components of color
How vision and color perception influence our experience of it
Understanding simultaneous contrast and how it influenced early impressionist painting
Why it’s important for photographers to master subtractive color theory
Exploring the importance of adding color to deep shadows
Comparing and contrasting color schemes; Monochrome, Analogous, Complimentary, Split Complementary, etc.
Creating color harmony and its effect on the viewer
Week 2: From Concept to Practice
Comparing color models and color spaces
Methods for color evaluation in Lightroom Classic and Photoshop
Color correction vs. color grading, which should you be doing?
