Color Psychology

For this photo I was walking outside as the sun was going down and noticed the blue hues in the footprints in the snow. I thought it looked cold and a little depressing in the fading light, so I took a photo, using the tree to add interest, and enhanced the blue a little bit in photoshop.


I took a photo of a bunch of lip products to capture the intensity of the color red. I think that the photo shows the confidence that can be achieved through this color. I first did a gaussian blur to make the colors bolder, then did a blur overlay and erased the lipstick to make it stand out.


I think green shows liveliness and this photo really captures that. The movement in the photo also creates this energy. I used a gaussian blur to enhance it slightly.


For this photo I noticed the gold eyeshadow my sister was wearing and decided that I wanted to take a picture of the eyeshadow but more intense. I added more eyeshadow to her and took the photo outside so the sun would glint gold in her hair. I think the gold makes her look deceptive because some people see gold and think of fools gold and trickery. I did a gaussian blur to make the color bolder and a blur overlay, erasing the eye to enhance the photo.
