  5. How to Achieve It • Choose one dominant color which will serve as your focal point. • Include items that compliment the dominant color NOT distract the eye... (normally) • Carefully consider backgrounds. Coordinate with the dominant color or use neutral tones. • As with still life… generate INTEREST!

  6. Color Relationships: Creating Moods • Know your colors • Evoke positive emotions • Catch the eye • Warm colors advance/cool colors recede (use to “pop” a photo) Red Green Blue by @Doug88888, on Flickr This dot appears to be a hole in the wall - RECEDING This dot appears to be in front of the wall - ADVANCING Warm colored subject on a cool colored background will pop!

  7. Color Relationships: Creating Moods • Cool Color Dominance Harmony: • Cool blues, violets, and greens = remoteness • Warm Color Dominance Harmony: • Saturated red, gold, orange, and yellow = comfort and warmth

  8. Color Relationships: Creating Moods • Complimentary Colors: • Colors that sit opposite of each other on the color wheel = increased intensity, contrast and emphasis • Monochromatic Color Harmony: • Keeping within the same color family “對比 Contrast” / 城市建築之形 Urban Architecture Forms / SML.20130211.7D.22547.P1 by See-ming Lee 李思明 SML, on Flickr Photo by Patricia Ramos

  9. Color Relationships: Creating Moods • Split Complimentary Dominance Harmony: • One Color with two opposite colors = drama • Analogous Color Harmony: • Based on three or more colors sitting together on the color wheel. For example: Yellow, Yellow-green, green Photo by Patricia Ramos

  10. Do’s and Don’ts DO: • Use photography basics • Stick with a theme • Be unique! Dare to do something different. DON’T: • Add too many colors • Lose sight of your subject (must stand out) • Be afraid of getting close and personal
