      This video, combined with Ted Forbes video on arrangement of elements make for two amazing teaching lessons…. There’s an idea, maybe edit together a workshop book by all the big CZcamsrs. I know I’d buy it. It would be informative and sentimental!

    Although I appreciate the analytical approach that Tony gives us, these highly creative instruction videos from Chelsea are pure information gold. This is the content I crave. I still want both of you to provide content, but I admit that a video from Chelsea gets me excited for all the right reasons.

  • @Marleydia
    @Marleydia Před 2 lety +3

    Chelsea, great content! I’m a newer nature photographer. I’ve spent the last year “collecting” species shots. Mostly animal or bird portraits. I realize I need to up my games to understand more about design and art to truly create impactful images. So, keep these coming! I love your channel and content!

    @SikesPhotography Před 2 lety +2

    Thanks for this Chelsea! I'm glad I stumbled across it. You guys packed a lot into less than a half hour. I appreciate the thought you put into this, as well as the masterful video/tutorials skills involved in making a clip like this. Respect.

  • @EJohnDanton
    @EJohnDanton Před 2 lety +4

    Truly a great video, Chelsea! Important, and can help you in a lot of aspects of life (clothing etc). I learnt a lot of this (primary, tertiary, complementary colours etc) in Housing & Interior Design 12. I took it to impress/chase a girl as the females outnumbered the males 2 to 1 in this class.
    It didn't work, but it helped my photography and colour matching incredibly. 😁

    @filton12 Před 2 lety +1

    I'm about 10 minutes in, you've already convinced me (slightly red/green colorblind) to shoot only black and white from now on. Fascinating stuff though. Lots to think about.

  • @sebxiou-lifestyle4465
    @sebxiou-lifestyle4465 Před 2 lety +2

    Excellent, Chelsea; thank you.... I really welcome your channel's photography info. I do have both your main book and your Art/Science course but it is always good to see another take on it and this has really reminded me how important colour-manipulation is. Also, your reminder about colour gels (those pieces of coloured cellophane one places over flashlamps and even lenses) has me delving in a long-forgotten camera bag for mine. All the best to you both from a colourful UK (we even have purple grass - or shall soon!) :)

  • @GiPa98
    @GiPa98 Před 2 lety

    Super useful. I've already seen the application of colour theory but this video truly helped me starting to actually feel it instead of just "ok I know this exists, let me take a cheatsheet somewhere to follow". Thanks for the content.

  • @altonmarsh
    @altonmarsh Před 2 lety +1

    This is really valuable. I watched it straight through and was able to follow because I had a previous workshop that had color as one of the topics. It reinforced what I had learned and had started to forget. It even went beyond that. Can’t wait to give it a try. I have to reject my 47 years of journalism that what a scene actually looks like must be exactly what you should see in the photo. I had put my color wheel aside from the other class but will now get it out again-or buy a new one from Amazon if it is lost.

    • @chelseanorthrup8787
      @chelseanorthrup8787 Před 2 lety +1

      Thank you for the feedback, Alton!
      It’s interesting g you mention your journalism background makes you strive for a look that’s true to what you see. I think a lot of tech-leaning photographers are the same way. Maybe now you can shift to thinking about what’s true to what you feel as an artist

  • @smaakjeks
    @smaakjeks Před 2 lety

    Nice!
    In movie colour theory, you're "supposed" to follow the 60-30-10 rule. One colour takes up 60% of the frame, the next takes up 30% and is complementary, and the last colour takes up 10% of the frame and consists of highlights/details. This is to make the scene look less cluttered and distracting. So, it probs works for photos as well :)

  • @77dris
    @77dris Před 2 lety

    One of the best things I learned about colour is to get pop you should maximize Colour Variability. Essentially you cool the white balance of warm tones (like skin) then increase saturation. Then you warm the white balance of cool tonal areas (like skies) and then increase saturation. It sounds counterintuitive but it works.

    • @Mike-VR

    Maybe someone has asked or maybe has been covered in previous videos but… one you have your RAW pic, where do you pick up the colors from? I mean… from the sea and rocks pic, where did you toke the colors? Why those? It’s something you choose whichever is the pic or those are some of the present colors in the pic and had made some aleatory selection? 🤔🤔🤔 please, help me cause I’m getting mad with all this instagram reels people applying this colors to a pic but no one tells you where they take them from. 🙏🙏🙏 thanks and sorry if that info has been shared previously.

    Wonderful content about mindfully building an artful photograph. Refreshing not to hear your talking about photo-beauty, not camera talk and banter. Suggestion for future content: analyze the color in Kodachrome slides that makes those images instantly recognizable as Kodachrome and how to approach that look in Lightroom.
