Colour Straight Images / Work Diary -

Colour - 
The images seen below are my favourite selection  that I have recently taken for my AS-Level photography course.

This image is a favourite of mine as it demonstrates a highly saturated primary colour over  the significantly contrasted, and dark tonal, muted background colour. Additionally, this image also depicts another formal element 'lines'.

This image also depicts colour well due to the rich red hue contrasted to the pale white shade background.  Not only does this image demonstrate colour but also texture.

This  image is my favourite of all the photographs taken on this particular day as it is an example of many formal elements but also of my most enjoyed style of photography; street photography. This image is an example of five formal elements: colour, line, tone, depth and form. Specifically within colour it is also an example of highly saturated colours, muted colours and contrasted shade between the shadows and well lit areas.

I have also selected this image as one of my favourites as it displays colour, tone, line and shape. The viewers eye is automatically drawn towards the centre of the image due to the two saturated yellow hues that assert dominance over the photograph; to enhance this even further I may edit the picture in Photoshop and use selected colourisation so only the yellow hues remain in colour.

This is my final image as again it depicts two primary colours that are intensely saturated compared to a tonally dark background.

Progression - 

If I was to progress from this point then I would change the camera setting to shoot in a larger file size, or even in raw, so that the image, and specifically the colours, are crisper. Also, given the opportunity I would re-shoot on a brighter day to ensure that the colours are more vibrant and highly saturated. Furthermore, my understanding of composition was lacking at this point and thus I simply took photographs that depicted the subject matter without regarding the aesthetics of the work. Finally, I would also further edit these images in Photoshop where I would increase the 'Brightness/ Contrast', increase 'Hue/ Saturation'  and 'Vibrance' to give the impression of a more colourful image that conforms to the brief.
