Colour - Image Bank

In this image bank, the next few photographs for me capture the beauty and versatility colour can have on the living world. The image below does this by exporting colour in a number of ways. In this, the young girl holding the umbrella completely covers up the environment around her and instead creates a colourful backdrop. The use of colours bring a sense of happiness to the photo without having to look at anything else within. Then looking closer, we see the girls jumper with stripes of colour, reflecting on the girls blonde hair. I find this photo effective as the colour is inescapable, showing the stereotype of a young girl surrounded by colour. 

This next photo I felt was particularly clever as the vibrance is truly brought out amongst the plain background. I like the use of the colour yellow as it gives a clean and fresh feel to the image, although its meaning can be seen differently by the splashes of paint. I prefer this photograph with the contrasted background as I feel it highlights the colour more without being too dull, as it would with plain black all over.

I particularly like these next two photos for many reasons. I like the portrayal of the first photo where the flower is the focal point. I like this because I feel the meaning is that it can brighten up a bad day, this can be seen by the black and white background. I also feel like it makes the image more defined and stand out easier. It adds texture which would be averted should the whole picture be in colour and it highlights the flowers beauty. Similarly, for the second photo I feel like the use of the colour on the sweets highlights people's favourite things in life. By highlighting what people like in life, it makes the audience relate and therefore instantly creating a positive feeling.

This next image shows off a different type of colour, natural. It does this by reflecting the sunlight onto the colour of the stairs. I particularly like the calming sensation this picture emits by the use of the orange and the ombre sky in the background. I also like the different shades explored on the wall and the never ending feel the stairs bring. 

For me, this is another great photo as it explores a creative side of colour. Unlike the other photos, this side uses the different colours and brings them together as the stand on the spectrum. I also like the organisation and the use of the objects, and the way they fit together in the image with it being central on the screen where the points meet.
