Four annotated online pictures:
I found this piece of photography extremely inspiring. When it comes to make up, there is an endless list of possible designs you could create on a face, whether that be with make up for the eyes or make up for the lips, in this case it's make up for the eyes. The colours create a visually strong attractive feel, absorbing the audiences attention and causing them to study each material that's been painted around the females eyes. A mixture of colours have been arranged in an irregular order as not everything is precise and tidy, so the photograph looks very original and quite loud in a positive style. The woman in the photograph may be generating a blank expression, but her eyes are what's screaming out of this image and this is what the photographer was focusing on.
When people think about colour, most forget to think about images like the one above that contains only a few alike colours. A photograph doesn't have to be overloaded with an assortment of colours to be classed as 'colour photography'. This one of the tree with autumn leaves creates a warm impression, as autumn is the season where the sun's still shining through crispy air. The yellows, organges and reds all come in a mixture of shades which gives the photo depth and directs it away from the plain side. The tree covers the whole of the photograph, and creates the impression that this tree is much larger than what's being advertised. I also like how the tree trunk and branches are almost silhouette, which also means the photo can then create an illusion of a broken orangey pavement; the trunk and brances being the cracks. A clever piece of photography indeed.
Not only did the colours in this photo stand out, but the concept of it did aswell. It isn't just colour that attracts you to a photograph and this is a perfect example of that. The blue and green tones are fresh colours, which make you think of the ocean/sea/rivers. This photograph contains these colours bouncing out of water, which is stereotypically where they come from. The individual droplets cover more territory in this photograph which avoids leaving blank areas so the space has been used productively.
This photograph is a pure example of colour. It's a stretched corridor painted orange from nearly floor to ceiling. The only other colour obstructing this image from being fully orange are the black poles in the rectangular holes covering the whole hallway. The black poles however create characteristic so they are a good touch. This is the type of photo that could inspire some of my photographs, because the corridoor is a smart area to take a photo of. The door at the end of the hallway is a darker orange than the walls, floor and ceiling surrounding it, so it almost looks as though it's emerging from the distance.
My definition of 'colour': A brightly fulfilled element as a result of reflection creating an attractive concept.
