A Powerful Tool





Color is a very powerful tool in photography. It is a great thing you can use to add emphasis, de-emphasize, or isolate a focal point of interest. This article will give you simple tips for using color properly in your photos.

 There are three types of colors. There are strong colors, soft colors, and neutral colors.

You could say red is a strong color. However, this is not true. You could say blue is a soft color but that also isn’t true. The type of color you use depends on the brightness of the color itself.

You could use a red that is soft or neutral. And you could use a red that is bright and strong. You could use blue that is strong or a blue hue that is soft.

Color is great for telling moods and giving emotions. Soft colors are great for pictures that have to do with relaxing, calmness, etc. Stronger colors are great for excitement, energy, happiness.

Now, when you use colors in your photos you really want to be sure that you don’t overuse the same type of color that the main subject is. For example, if the main subject is a strong color then you want the only strong color to be the main subject. All the other colors should be soft or neutral.

If all the other colors are strong as well then it’ll take away from the emphasis on the main subject.
