I Don't Really Do Colour

in #photography5 years ago

I prefer portraits, and most pictures aside from nature and skyporn, in black and white but I was bored this afternoon. I started to just play around with this picture because I quite like the light and the tones were pretty easy to work with as the afternoon light was favourable. I kept the highlights warm and shadows I turned into a more cool tone and tiny bit green, trying not to go overboard with any of it. I also pulled down the shadows to isolate the background even more. I do like high contrast, be it b&w or coloured image.

Fuck it, I'm including a black and white version too, as I've already spend all this time retouching, turning it into a b&w is easypeasy now. I actually think this image might work better in colour. Yes, I said it. Won't happen too often.

This was shot with the Fujifilm x100f, 23mm fixed lens, at f/2.2, 1/1000sec and ISO 200, post process in Camera RAW + Photoshop.

The photography is amazing. I like both versions of the picture.

Thanks for sharing it with us :D

Thank you very much :)

Color! The colors are poignant, if it’s what you like. I’d love to see your work on some expired color film. Could catch interesting results, if you ask me.

Ugh, I kinda see that working but then again, I kinda hate that look because people take really shitty photos on colour film and then people think they look nice just because they have a nostalgic feeling. You get what I'm saying?

I hear you, Eve! It’s like the medium doesn’t make the art, the art makes itself. You can’t just take a piece, make it out of gold and call it brilliant for that.

What about people of colour? :P

You trying to trick me into being a racist? 😝 I would actually love to shoot photograph someone with super dark skin. I would be interested to see how the light plays on top of skin colour that is basically opposite to mine, I think it would be really fun, especially in the high contrast style I prefer.

Lol a little bit, did it work? Whats the point of being mixed race if i cant use it to fuck with people!

Totes throw some other skin tons in your black and white photos you could start a movement “between black and white” and shoot all sorts of peeps!

Im sure PC peeps will eat it up for sure

Almost worked! I'm pretty sure “between black and white” is a porno title.

Lol ill try to be more subtle next time with the race trap!

If we’re going to go by whats not been pornofied there would be no creative ideas left! They’ll make a fuckumentary out of any concept

Tell us the secret of staying thin :( lol

Genes. And long walks. Tell us your secret of how you look half your age.

They're both beautiful!

Better in color. As you said. :) But usually B&W because you've turned me in to a bit of a black and white liker. Your photos are so awesome. Your fault. :D

But this is awesome in color.

If nothing else, I will be very happy if I can convert some devoted colour people into preferring black and white! :D

Gnh! Gnh!

trying to convert back

Once you go black.... 😝
