Although color is as much a part of visual communication as composition and light, it isn’t often talked about in creative terms. Especially in travel and documentary photography. But color can be leveraged in various ways.
When you become intentional in how you approach color. When you understand what associations different colors have and what moods they can evoke. Then, you can use color in your travel photography to create travel photos that communicate more effectively. Photos that are more powerful.
I’ve talked about color as it relates to travel photography a few times. I’ve even written an ebook on color. This is an entirely new way of looking at the topic. There’s more on the topic in my Travel Photography Course and in more depth. Don’t forget to check it out.
REMEMBER. There will be 1 more video. The NEXT Travel Photography Tip is coming on Sunday - Dec 22rd!

How aware are you of color when you’re making photos? Do you ever consciously “build” your image so that you can leverage color to set the mood or to communicate a story? Has there ever been a time when just the colors you saw inspired you to drop everything and take a photo.

I like that your channel is not flashy like a lot of other RU-vidrs - your videos always have a humble tone to them. You focus on teaching, rather than showing off how cool your travels and adventures are. I appreciate this and learn a lot from you, thank you for doing what you do.

Haha. Thanks, Tyler. Yeh, I mean, I am still experimenting and these maybe the last bunch of free educational vids of this kind that I'll make. Depending on how things go. It seems that YT is doing something with the views and many creators are getting barely any, after putting in quite a bit of effort. And yeh, I do try my best to avoid cliches. I guess I could be making a different lens video every week. 😂But I think I'd kill myself. Thanks for your comment. Seeing that some people appreciate the nuances is a really nice reward.

Great video Mitchell and as always, excellent and extremely useful photographic tips on color composition and fixes beginning with the capture and on to the subsequent edit. There is no one out there that even comes close to the engaging, street-wise, down to earth and superlative common sense wisdom that is regularly found in any of your videos! I'm gonna stop there because I don't want your head to become too big for your pillow tonight and miss out on your sleep. Hope you get to spend this Christmas with your family and I also pray for God to bless you and yours richly and to keep you all safe! Merry Christmas Mate!

(This is a continuously edited comment due to mobile limitations) Color has somehow started my whole interest in photography. It was my mother's second digital point and shoot camera that had a 'color swap' option. It let you select an input color with the center of the frame and an output color. Than it just translates a wider HSL selection and drops it into a single solid color. I used that very creatively in my childhood and recently found a lot of those pictures on an old backup drive. When I picked up my first phone more than three years ago, it had a small gadget thermal camera, which let's you see 'light' outside the visible spectrum and paints it in pseudo color. In some ways it gives you control over how it's colored. As it's a monochrome signal to start with. Two years ago I got a used cinema camera as I was very familiar with the options of color grading video footage and a few months later I got a digital stills camera. Photography has become a new hobby ever since and discussion about it takes up a portion of me every day. The thermal imaging part that kickstarted it once again is always presence to me and recently new camera got to my hands, those just barely reached their prototype state but first experiments are promising. I struggle with the use of color. Over all the time I got maybe two or three shots where colors works perfectly symbolical. I love wild color and pronounce it in a lot of my shots. But I am limited in options on the post side of things. Getting into it s little bit more the two WB sliders have given me some options but not full control. I grew up in a school where color had its own philosophy and so did architecture. It had a lasting impact on me and my associations with color slightly differ to those of others. I love the a/b examples you showed in the second half of the video. Also the artificial saturation you manage by keeping the intercut video of your talking head less saturated. It pronounced he photo examples more.
@mitchellkphotos
@mitchellkphotos 4 года назад
That's interesting. But, how exactly do you struggle with the use of color? And why are you limited with post?
@Veptis
@Veptis 4 года назад
@@mitchellkphotos the limitation is purely on the technical side for me. I simply don't own the software for it. For video I use DaVinci Resolve and that gives me all the control over color I ever needed. For stills I just use the free Capture One version as it gives me access to the tweaks I need. But there aren't RGB tones or curves or any kind of secondary adjustments in it. My struggle is seeing a scene correctly. I sometimes notice the extraordinary color around me and specifically look for the photo to capture the mood said color brings. It was in October when fall hit my city and I went on a walk with my camera. I found the best looking tree that had a single ivy twine on its side. Every leaf had a slightly different shade from bright green to dark red. I took multiple shots, different angles, different distances. And in post I tried to crop out parts of it or take he whole scene. I played with contrast and color, more color less color, elective saturation adjustments; yet I didn't manage to get a result I was happy with. When I started the walk I had a whole storm of images come to mind and that three made it more specific. But not specific as one to one. I ended up not having a result I was happy with and moved on into forms of photography that are more intuitive to me and more familiar. My struggle is completing the approximate visualization or reference in my head as a photo I shot and edited. There is a disconnect in multiple stages where my skills are insufficient. In my main genre (parties/nightclubs) I can get results that satisfy my expectations all the time or even exceed them. I see it currently as just experience. Somethings I shot for more than a year now - I know what I will have at the end. Therefore I took my camera with my on my commute to university and took the opportunity today, I did take a concept shot of a tram stop I always see could be a picture. It didn't work on day one, but I stop there 4 times a week. So there is more to come.

I really enjoy your videos and truly appreciate your sharing of your experience and photographic knowledge with us. I know you wrote an e-book a few years ago on Color (as well as one on Travel Photography), but was curious if your course covers the concepts you discuss in this video regarding the use of color in depth or whether the book would provide even more in-depth info.
@mitchellkphotos
@mitchellkphotos 4 года назад
The book is specifically about color. The course is not focusing on color, but there's enough on color in there throughout to maybe overall have more about color in total. Some nuances from the book are not in it. Some things from the course are not in the book.

Hey Mitchell, I've just discovered you and your channel and I might say I'm blown away! You are an inspiration in both of photography and videography, but also in teaching and giving away your experience to others. I have a question for you: me myself coming from an ex-communist country (Romania) I find it very difficult to do English speaking videos of myself, because of the accent barrier. Your English is just so amazing, no accent into it, that makes me wonder how have you reached this level? Did you move to UK at young age?
@mitchellkphotos
@mitchellkphotos 4 года назад
Hi Alin, an unusual question, but a very reasonable one. I've actually lived most of my life in Australia. My parents moved when I was ten. So Australia is much more my home than any other country. Though I still feel I have no home. I think that there is very little chance of talking like a native English speaker after a certain age. BUT, I think you can definitely work on more neutral pronunciation at any age. I'm trying that with Spanish these days. :) PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE. :)
