Photo Blog #41 – Color Theory

Welcome to the Jungle!

Admittedly, I had no clue how color theory worked exactly. It actually is quite interesting. It mainly focuses on the colors of an image or video where the goal is to make sure they all correlated well with each other. For my chosen photo (from a trip to the SFMOMA), I focused on the green that surrounded me and tried to enhance it, making sure that my body, clothes, and bag all matched in a similar hue. Photoshop’s exposure, brightness, and selective color adjustment settings really helped, but it was an overlay with a solid green color layer that really got this photo to stand out.
