If you are color blind, can you still take pictures?

At the beginning of this article, I want you to think about the question-if you are color blind, can you still take pictures?

Color is to photographers what fingers are to pianists and legs are to dancers. Once the former is damaged, it is almost a devastating blow to the latter.

But some people just want to say no to fate.

Killian school? Enberg, a German photographer, now lives in Cologne. He was deprived of the ability to distinguish colors when he was born, and he was red-green color blind.

Red-green color blindness, as the name implies, is unable to distinguish between red and green. They regard the whole spectrum as two basic colors: long wave (red, orange, yellow and green) is yellow, and short wave (cyan, blue and purple) is blue.

If words can't be well explained, then we can use pictures to understand the scene in the eyes of red-green color blindness.

The following is the picture seen by simulating red and green color blindness through the color blindness simulator:

After some experience, do you realize that color blindness has a deep influence on photographers?

Even if you are not a photographer, for an ordinary person who doesn't play photography, color blindness will have a great impact on his life.

So you can imagine, killian school? Enberg, how hard it takes to become a photographer to overcome his congenital defects.

At this time, you must be curious about the film of this "color-blind" photographer.

Killian school? Enberg once said in his self-report that although color blindness is an obstacle to his photography, his wish is to open up his own photography road with his own unique creative perspective, and he can turn the "color blindness" that originally belonged to the weak into his own advantage.

How to understand this advantage? He gave an example: when taking pictures in a chaotic forest, he couldn't clearly distinguish different green and brown tones, but aside from this "obstacle", he didn't care about those tones, but only focused on the shape of trees, which often made an impressive composition.
