Dear friend,<\/p>\n

Some more photo philosophizing: what we are trying to do as photographers is to communicate our life experiences, our perspective, and to transmit the emotion and mood we feel to the viewer!<\/p>\n

So how do we convey mood in photos? Often, the aesthetic \u00e2\u20ac\u201d how do the photos look? How does color affect my emotions?<\/p>\n

For example here are photos I shot in Tokyo, 2017, RICOH GR II<\/a> in high contrast color (positive film) preset in JPEG<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For the mood, I wanted to convey:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A feeling of anxiety and stress, and grittiness through color.<\/li>\n
  2. A combination of street scenes with people, and some urban landscapes<\/a>, as well as textures<\/a>, details, or colors for the sake of it.<\/li>\n
  3. Using a flash<\/a> to accentuate the dynamism of the city:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    \n

    Painting mood into your photos<\/h2>\n

    To imbue your photos with your emotions, mood\u00e2\u20ac\u201d shoot with your soul<\/a>! Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t censor yourself. Shoot directly, and afterwards choose (select\/edit) your photos which conveys your own personal mood!<\/p>\n
