2022_Clondon52w14: Color Schemes

From the C.London website: “Referring back to the introduction to color theory, this week you should pick one color scheme and utilize it in your image. As a reminder, some basic schemes include: complementary, analogous, and monochrome. If you want to get a bit more advanced, use this helpful tool via Adobe to explore some other schemes such as compound, triad, or split complementary.”

It was easy to use the complementary color scheme created by water and sand when along the Kaanapali beachfront on Maui, Hawaii for this week's challenge.

Clondon52w14: PHOTOGRAPHER HIGHLIGHT: Maria Svarbova

From the C.London website: "Maria Svarbova’s images are uniquely her own with her clever usage of color and setting.  She often uses the Soviet-era architecture which can be found in and around her home country of Slovakia.  Her thoughtful use of color is what really makes her images stand out from other somewhat surrealist portraiture.  For this week, I’d like you to user Maria’s work as an inspiration point for your own image. Whether you feel inspired by her use of color, subject, or setting is up to you." 

Thinking ahead, I had this image totally planned out in my mind. Weather and subject availability pushed me to the 11th hour when I changed gears and re-enlisted my buddy Irwin to again step in and be my subject. In the midst of shooting, we got photo bombed...which I was compelled to incorporate into the final image!
