Celebration the presence of colours and the absence of it

 
 
Ever since I took up photography, my appreciation of art have evolved . I no longer just look at the subject of a painting but rather at the choice of colours used, the texture, the brush strokes and the tonality that the artist was trying to express in their painting . It worked for both abstract and non abstract.

Likewise in photography, the presence of colours or the lack of it , allows admirers like me to know of the context of the photos .

Saturated colours are often found in foods, flowers, or landscapes whilst mono saturated photos are towards portraits , abstract subjects such as landscapes and buildings. I like high contrast photos coupled with a strong sharp details especially in portraits.

The absence of colours in a photographs allows us to focus more on the subjects, the expressions and minute details which colours could have distracted us from .


Here are some photos which I took recently to emphasize the presence of colours or the absence of it
