Grids

This grid is from a photo I took during a previous project. To make the colors in this grid complementary (red and green) I adjusted the colors to change hues of orange to red, and hues of yellow to green. This way, instead of appearing like a combination of red, orange, yellow and green, it has only red and green, which are complementary colors.

This grid is composed of photos that I took during a snow day. It depicts a rugged sheet of ice, and clearly conveys a colder feeling, as it is, by definition, a picture of a cold thing. To accentuate this feeling, I put more emphasis on blue hues, which is a naturally cool color.

This grid is also one that I took for a previous project, but did not use. It depicts a close up/filling the frame of potatoes, which, since they are quite uniform, functioned easily for a monochromatic picture.

This is a grid that depicts warmth. To make this grid, I used emphasis on red and orange colors, not only through saturation, but also luminance. Since these are warm colors, this grid conveys a feeling of warmth.


This photo is one I edited to show mood. Since it has vibrant red colors in the focused foreground, it conveys a very warm and positive mood, but since the background is white and cool, it also has a slightly contrasting background mood. This is important because it makes the mood of the foreground more accentuated, as there is something drastically different to compare it to.
