Deadline Nears For Exclusive Understanding Color Workshop
Time is running short to enroll in the (two-part)
Understanding Color Workshop
presented exclusively to PPF Members!!
Instructor: Mark Fitzgerald (via Zoom)
Saturdays, September 11 and September 18, 10am to 1pm
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
