February Challenge 2

February 22: #ColorChange

Remember to keep in mind how color affects your photograph.

We've already discussed giving your photograph a personality. The color affects this. Today we'll be concentrating on black and white photography, since we mainly focus on color photography.

Photograph belongs to Grando Luce.

The image on the right shows how a lamp can have an eerie feeling. The way the photograph is barely lit gives the photograph a factor of creepiness.

You can barely see the details on the lamp with the way the lighting is, causing the viewer to strain to see the details, much like looking into a dark room.

Notice how all of these images are of lamps, yet they all emit different feelings based on the lighting, and the fact that they are black and white helps execute these feelings immensely.

Perspective. Color. Focus. Lighting. All very important factors.

This first image on the left portrays a lamp with elegance. The way the lighting is even across the lamp, and how smooth all of the textures are, give the photograph a state of richness and strength.

The image above gives a vintage feel, and slight intimidation with the way the lamp leers over the viewer.
