Famous color photography: what is color photography?

When was color photography invented? It was in the middle of the XXth century. Not so long ago. But it is about the history of color photography. Let’s talk about the definition of color in photography. First, we have to understand several features of color photography examples:

• light;
• colors;
• saturation etc.

1. Light. So, what is color light photography? As we saw, it is an electromagnetic radiation whose wavelength varies. These variations are the cause of the different colors. In simple terms, light does not have one, but many colors. As for the color that you perceive, it is determined by the waves absorbed by your eyes and the interpretation that your brain makes. When it “knows” an object, it assigns its reference color... regardless of the lighting. In this way, a white page always appears white to our eyes, regardless of the light. But this is not the case for your camera.
2. Colors. There are not really primary colors, but different sets of basic colors from which we can recreate all colors. Painters have used different primary colors over time, but that’s another debate. Contrast between 2 primary colors gives pep to images. Here are some complementary color pairs:

• red / cyan;
• yellow / violet;
• green / magenta.

By the way, we can talk about primary color photography or about monochromatic color photography. A photography color palette has 3 qualities:

• hue;
• saturation;
• brightness (or luminance).

Saturation is the amount of black in color. The less there is and the more pure the color is and the more saturated it is. The brightness finally is the degree of clarity of a color. The luminance is more delicate to identify. We can see the differences between the 2 aspects:

• saturation;
• luminance.

We have already heard about warm color photography. According to its position on the color wheel, colors are said to be “warm” or “cold”. The white balance is one of the possibilities to modify the rendering of colors in your digital camera. In practice, it is best to use it to make the rendering on your monitor look like what you visually perceive of the photographed scene. So, it is really important to remember about the color balance in photography. It is also about color temperature in photography.
