Color is only fun when it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s unrealistic, exaggerated and extreme!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why hyper chroma?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
  1. More intense colors as more interesting, fun, and fascinating <\/li>
  2. Hyper colors are more vibrant, optimistic, juicy, and life-affirming<\/li>
  3. Dull colors are boring. The only sin as a photographer is to share boring photos.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Tips for hyper colors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    1. Shoot high contrast jpeg color.<\/li>
    2. Shoot with flash to further saturate the colors.<\/li>
    3. Post-process by adding more contrast, increase the blacks, and increase the whites.<\/li>
    4. Travel to colorful places, like Mexico City<\/a>.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Collage your color photos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      I use \u00e2\u20ac\u0153tiled galleries<\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d on WordPress to showcase my color photos as a collage. I love the ways all the colors combine into a beautiful chromatic tapestry!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Simple color theories <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      2. Complementary colors<\/a> theory<\/li>
      3. Warm vs Cool colors theory <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Or my simple theory:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Just shoot colors you like!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

        There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s no good or bad colors. Only depressing and uplifting colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        I choose to photograph colors which uplift me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
