Color as a Subject


I used a flourescent White Balance setting. It brought out a "real" white in the walls and really highlighted the colors of the fruit.


I really like this necklace and I was taking photos of both the necklace and the shirt when I realized that my shower curtain had almost the same exact colors. I used Tungsten white balance setting.


I found a small flashlight and used it as a spotlight for this picture. It gave the blue heart some "pop."


I used the flashlight as a spotlight in this photo as well. I really like the shadows it creates.


For this picture, I tried to over expose so it would turn out a little brighter than the room lighting was. Regardless, the photo turned out a little darker than I was hoping.


I really like this photo, it reminds me of a whirl pool. I used the Daylight setting for the white balance.


This is a hammock that was a crumpled up on my front porch. I used the Daylight setting for the white balance.


I used Tungsten as the white balance setting. I took so many gosh darn pictures of this ashtray so I could find the right setting to bring out the blue.

Great series! The colors really "pop" and you have interesting lines that pull the viewers eyes through all areas of each image.

Great job making color the subject of the series. You're really starting to utilize composition and exposure to enhance your theme. Keep finding ways to do this! (You did this really well with your controlled lighting portrait as well!)
