How To Take Good Photos

Colour: Use of colour

alt text
© TOM ANG
  • Redder colours will create a warmer feel for your shots more than blues or greens.
  • Colour affects the way we look at pictures, so try to use colour creatively in your shots.
  • Look for images that contain contrasting colours, such as red and green or yellow and purple, to add tension or drama.
  • Using shades of the same colours will create a sense of harmony.
