When it comes to high saturation, some people think of the scenery, magnificent atmosphere, while others think of red and green, vulgar.

Different people have different feelings about high saturation, and if high saturation is only regarded as tacky in photography, it may be that high saturation is not used well.

Because making good use of high saturation can not only make the photo attractive, but also show a unique flavor.

So today I'd like to share with you some tips on how to make good use of highly saturated colors in photography:

1. High saturation colors are suitable for themes. High saturation is the same as low saturation. They are not completely versatile. They all have their own suitable themes.

In terms of high saturation photos, the overall brightness is generally not low, so it is very suitable for sunny and positive themes.

Warm colors are suitable for creating a positive and sunny atmosphere. At the same time, if the colors are completely full of pictures, it will affect the look and feel, so a concise theme will be more suitable, that is, there can be some negative space in the photos.

In addition, the night scene is also more suitable for high saturation, especially when the lights are bright, high saturation photos are very attractive.

Architectural photography is also more suitable for high saturation. If the architectural color itself is attractive and highly saturated, it will look very comfortable when there is plenty of light.

And such as still life, scenery and other themes, if the picture is concise and the main color is rich, high saturation can also highlight the existence of the subject, very interesting.

two。 Color logic we all know that each color has its own meaning, some use high saturation will look better, some may be more "strange".

Like red, highly saturated red can be seen in both natural and social life, but large areas of highly saturated red are relatively rare, so we should also pay attention to the use of red. Large areas of red may make photos appear "tense", "exciting" or even "scary".

And orange, yellow is more common, whether it is dotted lights or autumn orange leaves all over the mountains, it seems very natural and reasonable, orange and yellow are naturally suitable for higher saturation.

Although green is also very common, and itself represents nature, but if the saturation is too high and the area is very large, it will appear very awkward, or even show a strange feeling, need to pay attention to this.

A large area of bright green like the one above will look a little "fake" and dark green may be more attractive.

Cyan and blue are also similar to green, in some themes are not suitable for high saturation, especially cyan, like our most common sky, although showing a large area of blue, but the saturation is not high.

Excessive treatment in the later stage, the thick cyan dyed to the edge of the cloud, the overall look uncomfortable purple itself is less in nature, full of a little mystery, if not the pursuit of a certain effect, or be careful to use large areas with high saturation.

There is less pure purple in a large area in nature, and there will be blue-purple in some landscape photography, and the degree of not being well grasped will also seem unreal.

3. Color collocation with high saturation can better highlight the characteristics of color, so the collocation between colors is very important, a good match can appear to have a "high sense".

(1) adjacent color collocation is very suitable for high saturation color matching, such as rose, orange, yellow combination, although the saturation is high, but because the color is close, so it can highlight the sense of hierarchy, and will not appear cluttered.

Warm color adjacent color collocation (2) complementary color collocation highly saturated color can also be used for complementary color matching, but it should be noted that it is best to have a dominant color in the complementary color combination, or it is possible to make an obvious regional division, and there will not be too many colors in the photo.

Like the photo below, the saturation is very high, but it doesn't look messy and dazzling. Let's analyze it in detail:

First of all, let's take a closer look at the three colors in the picture: red, blue and orange. other very small colors can be ignored, in which red and blue can be approximately regarded as a group of complementary colors.

Then let's take a look at the size of the color area. in fact, most of it is still occupied by blue, so blue can be seen as the dominant color, while highly saturated colors such as red and orange are more like embellishment.

Let's take a look at the color distribution, the upper left is basically "ruled" by blue, we can generally circle the blue area to form a rectangle, that is to say, there is still a relatively obvious division between blue and other colors.

The upper left of the photo is basically made up of blue, and there is an obvious color division with other parts, which makes the photo look focused and hierarchical, and the appearance will be much worse if the colors are confused.

Take a look at the picture below. The principle is similar to the one above. You can try to analyze it.

(3) the combination of black, white and gray is a combination of black, white and gray, which can be matched with almost any color at will, and they can also play the effect of highlighting other colors.

Similar to the black gold effect, it can highlight orange, which is another highly saturated idea. In addition, since highly saturated photos generally have enough brightness, the proper use of these color combinations can enhance the contrast and make the photos more layered.

There is no question of high saturation or low saturation. If you use it properly, you can make a good picture.
