Inspired #50
Working with spring colour
Hello and welcome to Inspired, a weekly email for my paid subscribers. In this series I want to explore topics which I hope might spark some inspiration for your own photography. I will talk about my thought process for creating images, both in the field and in post processing. The posts will be linked in some way to the monthly challenges, hopefully giving you all lots of food for thought.
I have been spending a lot of time recently in the bluebell woods with my camera running workshops and 1-2-1 sessions. Much of the time has been given over to flower portraits and in today’s article I thought I would spend some time discussing colour combinations in these smaller scenes.
It can be challenging to create emotive flower portraits. Not only do you need to find a good subject, but you also need to find a background that has no distractions and compliments the subject in light and colour. This is no easy task as a poorly selected background, clashing colours and inappropriate lighting can all ruin a shot.
Today I thought I would share some of my recent bluebell images and discuss their differences in terms of light, colour and background.
