Color is powerful. It impacts our senses, pushes our emotions, and plays an essential role in creating an effective photograph.

This book approaches color from a photographer’s perspective with a mix of practical theory, technical information, and solid advice on how to apply these details in all genres of photography—landscapes, portraits, lifestyle, sports, or wildlife.

When I was a lad, photographs and movies were all in black and white. When color film was introduced folks were full of oh’s and ah’s, but soon color became the norm. Photographers concentrated on tone and contrast and line and tipped their hat to color, but since those days when color came into common use, few articulated any grand theory of the use of color to make better images. Now Jared Foster has turned his attention to this aspect of photography.
The author begins by singing color’s praises, telling the reader it is cultural, emotional and physiological. He briefly tries to explain the science of color, without scientific explanation, and then tells readers an image may contain small dots of color or large areas of color. Foster tells photographers they can use color together with the rule of thirds, leading lines and framing. He explains the color wheel, analogous colors, and complimentary colors. He runs through a list of primary and secondary colors, telling us what emotional freight is supposedly attached to each. Foster then talks about how certain colors or combinations have cultural associations. There then follows a miscellany of thoughts about lighting conditions, and about some basic camera and post processing settings that will effect color like shooting in camera raw and calibrating the monitor. His final chapter offers a few hints on when to convert a color image to black and white.
Mostly, Foster talks around the subject, without ever giving specific suggestions about how to use color to structure the image to realize one’s vision. Instead he just keeps urging one to keep color in mind. Other instructional manuals do as much in briefer, non-repetitive form.
