Colour

This photo uses analogous colours. It mainly uses reds and yellows. In this photo, the tram brings the viewer's attention because it is bright yellow and the background is less saturated, which enhances the overall image. These certain colours make the photo look old and washed out. 

This photo is using complementary colour. The saturated red background makes the frog stand out not only because the colours are opposite of each other, but also the frog is right in the middle of the image. The small amount of colours used in this photograph make it very intriguing.

This photograph presents colour isolation. It is a very effective technique because it makes the coloured object stand out and it draws the viewers attention to the piece that the photographer finds the most important.

My photos

This is a photo that I have taken of an Indian painting. It presents complementary colours on a black background, which makes the couple stand out. The very saturated colours pull the viewers eye. They give out the feeling of warmth (red) and calmness (green).

This photo uses analogous colours, which mainly green and yellow. The very light yellowish background makes the green parts stand out a lot more and they bring more attention. The fruit is placed around the whole photo making which then makes the viewer explore the whole image.

This photo shows colour isolation and I have decided that I will make the balloon the central focus. It draws the viewer's eye to the main object and it gives an eerie feel to the photo since it's a child and the rest is in black and white.
