1
00:00:24,970 --> 00:00:32,669
let's talk about the things that I find
important with photography before I dive
2
00:00:32,669 --> 00:00:36,800
into fully the different publishers that
i'm gonna take you long for one of these
3
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:41,750
things is color now when I first started
photography show a lot of black and
4
00:00:41,750 --> 00:00:47,030
white and I think the process there is
really seeing shapes first and then as I
5
00:00:47,030 --> 00:00:51,940
matured I started seeing color better
and then sense very much on iraq has
6
00:00:51,940 --> 00:00:55,570
been color I think a lot of people
struggling a little bit gonna tell you
7
00:00:55,570 --> 00:01:02,589
the basics of color it's not that hard
and adobe has extraordinary tall are you
8
00:01:02,589 --> 00:01:07,110
don't really need to know the RGB and
CMYK sand what's opposite cuz it's all
9
00:01:07,110 --> 00:01:12,020
there for you visual and they have this
in a way that you could do families of
10
00:01:12,020 --> 00:01:16,100
colors you can do opposite colors and
then give you a clear visual of what the
11
00:01:16,100 --> 00:01:20,170
different families are and you look at a
few different things what's
12
00:01:20,170 --> 00:01:24,970
extraordinary and photography is that
most of the color imagery that really
13
00:01:24,970 --> 00:01:30,620
strikes people either have a family of
color or they have a posting colors you
14
00:01:30,620 --> 00:01:36,600
see it a ton of movies but they either
go all warm the perfect example is one
15
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,700
of my inspirations but just brother
where art thou
16
00:01:38,700 --> 00:01:44,270
everything was muted and torn down in
the warm colors look at movie posters
17
00:01:44,270 --> 00:01:49,380
the guys here at RGG showed a few to me
and they're all in the cooler times in
18
00:01:49,380 --> 00:01:54,220
the shadows and there is a yellowish
tones and higher and whether skin tone
19
00:01:54,220 --> 00:01:59,240
is set to get this beautiful contrast by
the skin tones pop and then the shadows
20
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,890
in the background goes to redeploy times
and you can explore this Adobe too
21
00:02:03,890 --> 00:02:09,440
little bit and you could see how these
things just sit opposite each other so
22
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:14,860
let's dive into a little bit so if you
go to colored a little bit of calm it
23
00:02:14,860 --> 00:02:19,680
will take it to this home page and it's
really quite exquisite it will give you
24
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,750
a handle it will start you out of the
top here they say color space called
25
00:02:23,750 --> 00:02:27,490
analogous which will give you a family
or color is
26
00:02:27,490 --> 00:02:33,730
in RGB or CMYK spectrum so if you follow
the screen
27
00:02:33,730 --> 00:02:37,570
here's the yellow will follow it into
the red zone Magentis and you could see
28
00:02:37,570 --> 00:02:41,690
how this changes if you wanna make it
less saturated you can pull it in and
29
00:02:41,690 --> 00:02:47,090
you see how these kind of shapes changes
can also take it darker down here and
30
00:02:47,090 --> 00:02:52,040
you can coming to the nighttime images
for our four images for a for
31
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:56,610
photoshoots there's a very specific
colors now for one of them all
32
00:02:56,610 --> 00:03:00,490
conversations but I will show you the
second you live in this color space you
33
00:03:00,490 --> 00:03:05,540
see on the screen right now it's all
moody living in the blue teal tones of
34
00:03:05,540 --> 00:03:14,500
my time we are going to take you outside
and work in this color space and the Sun
35
00:03:14,500 --> 00:03:18,670
gets low on the horizon it gets really
warm and for this image called the train
36
00:03:18,670 --> 00:03:24,330
we have this color space now you could
work on this in different ways but we
37
00:03:24,330 --> 00:03:29,830
can go two opposite colors here and the
complementary color space you can see
38
00:03:29,830 --> 00:03:34,370
that we get opposites I just mentioned
this right now we have the warmer skin
39
00:03:34,370 --> 00:03:38,780
tones in the cooler shadowlands you see
how this works within this complementary
40
00:03:38,780 --> 00:03:44,670
color space we did this for this image
called the crash and we're living just
41
00:03:44,670 --> 00:03:45,790
about in here
42
00:03:45,790 --> 00:03:51,730
took these green forest pushed a light
back into the moody overcast tones and
43
00:03:51,730 --> 00:03:55,980
then added a red dress in there is a
perfectly opposite like you see here
44
00:03:55,980 --> 00:04:03,560
maybe something in here is where the
dress color as and are right about there
45
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:08,440
so you should explore this website on
your own it's really quite easy then to
46
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:13,390
understand why the color space set
instead of trying to do all the theory
47
00:04:13,390 --> 00:04:18,940
explore this way easier to learn by
doing and you really quickly get ahold
48
00:04:18,940 --> 00:04:23,210
of color then restart retouching of Use
curves a lot and they play on the
49
00:04:23,210 --> 00:04:27,420
opposite colors and if you have any sort
of confusion in the RGB color space
50
00:04:27,420 --> 00:04:32,770
which I use the curves up and down you
can come in here and see easily that if
51
00:04:32,770 --> 00:04:37,660
I pull the yellow curve up and also the
blue crab so
52
00:04:37,660 --> 00:04:41,740
blue spectrum sit at the bottom of the
curse the yellow sit at the top so we'll
53
00:04:41,740 --> 00:04:45,550
explore that included in be touching but
this is something you can return to get
54
00:04:45,550 --> 00:04:48,250
an understanding of how it works
55
00:04:48,250 --> 00:04:54,180
there's two ways really took it color in
photography the first is the light which
56
00:04:54,180 --> 00:04:58,090
be controlled by the time I David take
the picture and then of course the wavy
57
00:04:58,090 --> 00:05:04,320
style it so I wanna talk about the first
which is the Sun and how that works and
58
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:09,680
then howie style it after if you see a
rainbow in the sky
59
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:15,340
you see all the color specter of the Sun
that color spektr creates white light
60
00:05:15,340 --> 00:05:21,510
now the Sun gets nowhere to the horizon
imagine you have a cooler Spectre oil
61
00:05:21,510 --> 00:05:25,560
cutoff half of that rainbow colored
background and what you're left with is
62
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:29,780
only one towns and that's the reason to
get warm like in the afternoon and that
63
00:05:29,780 --> 00:05:34,020
they only need the whole rise and the
only thing that shines up is the blue
64
00:05:34,020 --> 00:05:37,970
and purple tones and that's why you get
really blue light after the Sun Goes
65
00:05:37,970 --> 00:05:38,950
Down
66
00:05:38,950 --> 00:05:42,960
you know we need to know the theory
behind it but to know that in the
67
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:43,760
evening
68
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:48,590
mornings prior after the Sun comes out
you get a blue color palette in the
69
00:05:48,590 --> 00:05:53,980
mid-range just as the Sun had no rice
and you get a really warm tongue and in
70
00:05:53,980 --> 00:05:59,140
the middle of the day you get 5500
Calvin I'm mentioning this number not
71
00:05:59,140 --> 00:06:02,919
because you need to know it but for the
camera should be on when you take
72
00:06:02,919 --> 00:06:08,150
pictures I truly encourage you to turn
off the auto white balance in your
73
00:06:08,150 --> 00:06:09,419
camera
74
00:06:09,419 --> 00:06:14,610
balance will neutralize everything that
you take any time of the day if you're
75
00:06:14,610 --> 00:06:17,130
inside outside night evening
76
00:06:17,130 --> 00:06:22,940
always look neutral to you and I think
that is not beneficial at all if you
77
00:06:22,940 --> 00:06:26,610
want to embrace and work with color you
want to know what kind of color palette
78
00:06:26,610 --> 00:06:31,300
like gives you and then you can adjust
it afterwards in Photoshop so make sure
79
00:06:31,300 --> 00:06:37,900
to put your color balance at 5500 which
is neutral daytime light and then you
80
00:06:37,900 --> 00:06:43,850
could see what the Sun dust your color
palette as a date changes on the screen
81
00:06:43,850 --> 00:06:46,980
now you see three screen grabs from
capture one
82
00:06:46,980 --> 00:06:50,640
nothing has been done with these are all
set up fifty five hundred and they are
