Agenda What is Dominant Color Photography? How to Achieve Dominant Color Creating Moods with Color Do’s and Don’ts Quiz

What is it? Dominant color is achieved when one color serves as the focal point in a photo. The color expresses more intensity among other colors in the picture. This type of photo tends to instantly catch the attention of the viewer.

How to Achieve It Choose one dominant color which will serve as your focal point. Include items that compliment the dominant color NOT distract the eye... (normally) Carefully consider backgrounds. Coordinate with the dominant color or use neutral tones. As with still life… generate INTEREST!

Color Relationships: Creating Moods Know your colors – Evoke positive emotions – Catch the eye – Warm colors advance/cool colors recede (use to “pop” a photo) This dot appears to be a hole in the wall - RECEDING This dot appears to be in front of the wall - ADVANCING Warm colored subject on a cool colored background will pop! Red Green Blue Red Green Blue on

Color Relationships: Creating Moods Cool Color Dominance Harmony: – Cool blues, violets, and greens = remoteness Warm Color Dominance Harmony: – Saturated red, gold, orange, and yellow = comfort and warmth

Color Relationships: Creating Moods Complimentary Colors: – Colors that sit opposite of each other on the color wheel = increased intensity, contrast and emphasis Monochromatic Color Harmony: – Keeping within the same color family Photo by Patricia Ramos

Color Relationships: Creating Moods Split Complimentary Dominance Harmony: – One Color with two opposite colors = drama Analogous Color Harmony: – Based on three or more colors sitting together on the color wheel. For example: Yellow, Yellow-green, green Photo by Patricia Ramos

Do’s and Don’ts DO: Use photography basics Stick with a theme Be unique! Dare to do something different. DON’T: Add too many colors Lose sight of your subject (must stand out) Be afraid of getting close and personal
