Big Bold Colour. Find it. Use it.

Fill the frame with bold colours and your images will draw plenty of attention.

 

 

Fill the frame with solid colours

When you have bold colours to work with, find a way to fill the frame with those colours. In the same way that we zoomed in on patterns in Lesson 5, we need to zoom in to eliminate any off colours or distracting elements.

 

 

When you find that swatch of colour, zoom in tight to eliminate the distracting elements that don’t fit with colour you are working with.

EXERCISE: Find a brightly coloured wall, curtains, green grass and have a model pose in front of it. For grass, have them lie down and take the pic from above making sure the full background is green grass. 

NOTE: An overexposed image will tend to have muted or light colours while a slightly underexposed image will tend to have richer colours.
