Week 4 Assignment
Part 1
Complementary Colors
Red/Green
Monochrome Colors
Brown Scale
With this task, I found it hard to find an analogous color scheme in nature. I knew I could probably manufacture a photo with various things around the house but that is not what I wanted. So I chose to represent the other two. I enjoyed playing with the lighting on the monochrome photo. I must have taken 20 photos in various different lighting but decided on this one because it accurately showed the different hues of brown I wanted to express. I used a soft light that was slightly raised to front/right of the trumpet.
The complementary color photo was an easy one in my opinion. I took photos of 10 sets of things I found to be complementary but settled on this one. There is plenty of green around (finally) and it just so happens I have a set of red Adirondack chairs on my porch. I took the photo in the late evening of an overcast night. I may replace it later with a photo lit with early morning or late evening sun but I thought this one turned out decent.
Excellent work! Nice touch with the colored lettering too… Thank you so much for taking the time to explain your process. It is so important for people to understand that photos don't just happen, it takes a lot of work to come up with that "one" that works. Sometimes you get lucky and get that photograph instantly that works, but more often it is the work that makes your photography great. Yours is a great example of this.
ReplyDeleteI love your photos. The chair one is my favorite the red and the green. Great work.
