Colour - Work Diary

Work Diary:

Evaluation:

In my photography session, we were asked to focus on the topic colour. When walking around the college premises I struggled to find anything bursting with colour. Therefore, I took a different approach and looked for singular colours and the effect it had in contrast to the environment around it. I found some extremely vibrant and bold colours which I prefer, yet I also saw more autumnal colours which was expected for the time of year. Colour is found on everything, unlike lines which you have to uncover, colour is obvious on everything in the world. I mainly looked for colour in places that I thought it would stand out, this would create a different perspective than it blending into the environment it was situated. For example: 

I particularly favour this image over the others as it is bold, vibrant and contains colour throughout. However, the orange slightly dominates the photo as there is more of it present. I feel like this photo is effective as the elements stand out and the berries are crisp and focused on while the background is slightly blurred out. On the other hand, a photo I was expecting to prefer was this one, however only after in the editing suite did I realise that that it was unfortunately out of focus:

To improve this for next time I will ensure that I check over an image to ensure it is in focus after I have taken it, if I feel it may be out of focused. I struggled with this one due to the positioning and the angle at which it was situated.

Progression: 

If I was to go out and shoot Colour again, here is some pictures that I would inspire to produce. I especially like these images as they show the colour topic through different experiments such as light trails. In the future I will look to do light trails with different colours as they look interesting. I also like the different ways in which the colour is shown through the makeup on the girls face. I find this exciting in the studio as I could use a range of different makeups which express colour on peoples faces. Another different aspect of colour I could show is natural through the different leaves shown in the last image:
