<\/p>\nI love color photography because it’s stimulating to me! I like looking at my own color photos, because the colors are so juicy and delightful to me!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n2. Sunsets look more epic<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\nYou can make beautiful monochrome sunset photos, but the light comes out so much nicer in color, especially when you shoot in RAW, and increase the contrast and saturation afterwards.<\/p>\n
Or just shoot JPEG<\/a>, positive film high contrast color on RICOH GR II<\/a>:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nShooting with a flash in color can truly bring out some epic details in your photos, like the eye makeup of this woman in Kyoto.<\/p>\n
4. Painting<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\nI like color photography because I feel like a painter. I see colors which please my eye, and I just shoot those colors. It’s colors for the sake of colors!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nI like monochrome abstract<\/a> photos. Also shoot abstract color photos, another fun challenge!<\/p>\n
7. Minimalist color compositions<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\nMy favorite color is red<\/a>. The color of blood, passion, danger, and vigor!<\/p>\n
