Understanding Color in Photography

As a new photography enthusiast, I was ecstatic to get this book by Bryan Peterson. Peterson is a veteran photographer with so much wisdom and insight to share. Within this book, you find so much information and tips on how to work with color and adjust accordingly to render the best images possible.

The book itself is full of beautiful images with vibrant colors. With every turn of a page, you find yourself looking at another pop of color and descriptions on how that image was captured. I enjoyed how many of these images had short stories to them about how the photographer came across the shot. There is also a section of the book that talks about different colors and gives a brief background to the color. The author describes the color, the mood it imbues, and complementary colors.

Overall, this is an informative book on how to be effective as a photographer when using color. All of the pictures in the book also provide for great examples and is simply pleasing to the reader who just wants to flip through.

I have received this book from Blogging for Books for my honest review.
