How to distinguish warm tones from cold tones in photography

One: Warm colors

Colors are mainly divided into warm colors, cool colors and intermediate colors. Red, orange, yellow and the colors with red, orange and yellow as the main components are called warm colors; Blue, cyan and colors mainly containing blue and cyan are called cool colors; Green and purple are called intermediate colors. Therefore, if warm colors such as red, orange and yellow are used or colors mainly containing these color components, photos with warm color effects can be obtained.

First of all, photographers can choose the clothes of the main characters according to their own shooting needs, and clothes in red, orange and other colors can get warm colors; Secondly, the photographer needs to choose a background that matches the subject of the character properly; Thirdly, if you are outdoors, you can choose to shoot at around 3 or 4 pm when the sun is soft and warm; If it is indoors, you can design warm colors with red or yellow lights. Of course, in addition to certain design in the shooting process, photographers can also get the desired effect through post-processing software. ?

Two: cool colors

The cool tone of portrait photography refers to the portrait photography picture composed of blue, cyan or colors mainly containing blue and cyan components. Photographers can also get a cool tone effect by shooting the color of the subject's clothing. At the same time, the effect of cool colors can be further unified by choosing the shadow part of the surrounding environment (the shadow is mainly composed of cool colors) as the background.
