Applying color theory to your edits to create winning photographs! With @albertdrosphotography / "I always liked to work with colors; Strong colors and flashy visuals is what I always liked to create. You can see this in my images as well. They often have strong compositions and colors that match. The images I create are how I see the world. Or at least, how I want to show it to other people. Every person has their vision, and it’s great when you can recognize that in a style. In my case, I try to show a particular moment to the viewer without altering the experience too much. I do, however, do a lot of color work. You could say I kind of ‘romanticize’ a moment the way the Dutch Masters would do this. A good friend and great photographer (@adrian_sommeling) once told me: “Albert, you are a modern Dutch Master.” I found that quite funny... Working with color comes with practice though and it takes years to be good at it. My advice is to study some color theory and then simply practice. Show your results to your friends and ask them for an honest opinion. If something is “off” that means you probably did something wrong. Feedback from ‘non-photographers’ is simply the best feedback because that’s how most people look at your work. Eventually, you will reach a point where you already know how a finished photo (after post-processing) will look when you press the shutter button. The vision will already be in your head. Then, when you start editing a colorful photo, I recommend taking many breaks. Your eyes get used to your monitor and the image you’re working on. By taking a break, you reset your eyes, and you will see if you pushed certain sliders too far, or maybe not enough. Take breaks during an edit, sometimes just 5 minutes, but also check it again the next day. A trick I also often use is to look at the image in a very small size. This way you can see if certain colors or compositional elements are correct. I tend to see things much quicker when I take a look at the very small-sized image."
