the complement: a journey in color

I love color. Color excites. Adds drama.
In photography, color can achieve it's own emotion, regardless of context; and within a context, it can amplify the message being communicated. Photography is not linear. The ingredients of a great photograph encompass composition, light, concept, and color almost everytime. Even in a black and white photograph these elements are present. Red turns to white, blue turns to black, and you're left with a stunning image that's colorless, yet beautifully pleasing.

If you take a second glance at the photos below, you'll notice not only the colors within, that complement and adds interest, but you'll also see that by putting these two images next to each other, the contrast between warm and cool toning generates a pleasing complement, which makes each image stand out even further.
