How to use color art in photography

Lead: Color is a kind of visual nerve stimulation, which is produced by the response of visual nerve to light. As a means of expressing feelings, color plays a very important role in many art categories. Let's see how to use the art of color in photography.

1, warm tone composition

Choose or adjust the color of the subject, and use red, orange, yellow and other colors to bring warmth, enthusiasm, joy and emotional association.

2, cold conditioning ingredients

Select or adjust the color of the subject, and use blue, cyan and other colors. The whole picture is mostly blue-cyan, leaving a small area of other colors to balance the picture.

3. Contrast color composition

Contrast color can make people's visual sense produce a physiological phenomenon, and strengthen the balance of retina to color. Putting contrasting colors together will give people a strong sense of rejection.

4. Harmonious color composition

Choose the appropriate composition method according to different situations when shooting. We can use the harmony of similar colors or achromatic color. The achromatic colors such as black, white and gray can achieve a harmonious effect with any color.

The picture on the left is gray with color system, and the whole picture on the right is black, white and gray, which can achieve a harmonious effect.

5, heavy color composition

Compose with a fairly saturated bright color or a dark color with low brightness, so that the picture has rich color effects and forms a thick color picture.

Use a highly saturated solid color that is not too bright or too dark to form a picture, and use soft scattering front light. Compose the picture with heavier and darker colors, and deliberately reduce the exposure and brightness.

6, light composition

Use some lighter, brighter and less saturated colors to match each other to form a picture. The subject itself should be composed of light tones or mainly light colors, and the exposure can be deliberately increased.

7. Use key color blocks

When the overall color of a photo is unified in a certain tone, if small pieces of other colors can be arranged in this unified tone, the colors of these small pieces can be very vivid and prominent because of a large background tone, which makes the colors of the whole picture active.
