Independent #3: Color

For this project, I wanted to experiment with the effects of color (or the absence of color). I wanted to see how prominent colors could become in a photograph, in a way that the photos would be totally different in black and white. Sometimes I tried taking photos of things with lots of color, but sometimes I placed boldly-colored objects in contrast with colorless ones, like in photos 1, 4. and 5. Those three photos are unedited because I really like the effect of the black, white, and red without any use of Photoshop. In photo 2, I removed the blue to emphasize the beautiful colors of the scarf against the white snow. It’s interesting to find colorful things that just happen to be there, instead of saturating them or changing them in any way after taking the photo.
