My wife and I just came back from a vacation in Russia. We covered dozens of cities and hundreds of sights. All throughout our travels we’ve searched for interesting and compelling locations.
In this post, I’d like to cover my views on Color Theory in application to portraiture. We are often surprised to learn that our work is stronger or weaker than we originally thought. During the photoshoot, we interpret the set as 3D vs what we capture in 2D. This transformation enforces the importance of shapes and colors our viewers perceive.
The two portraits below depict the analogous and complementary color schemas from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_theory. The upper image is stronger because the dominant colors are grouped in the red-violet and yellow-orange spaces. By contrast, the lower image is strong because of the yellow-orange and blue-green complementary combination.
Your friend, S.
