A complementary color palette with stormy midnight blues and golden amber to keep developing your editing style! With @pie_aerts / According to research, elephants detect distant thunder and use it to migrate toward water sources. In combination with Amboseli’s skies, which are among the darkest in East Africa, this allows to capture extreme tonal contrasts, as seen in this beautiful photo by @pie_aerts captured during one of his workshops. This combination of factors naturally lends your canvases the potential to incorporate complementary warm–cold contrasts, which, according to Attention, Perception & Psychophysics (2016), can increase viewer retention time by up to 40%. Studies also suggest that dark blues evoke calm and depth, while warm yellows and oranges stimulate emotional warmth and vitality. In addition, warm hues like orange are linked to empathy and awe, while cool hues support depth perception and contemplation. How you place these colors in your frame is also key: Research from the journal Color Research and Application confirms that “visual compositions that balance warm focal colors against cool backgrounds tend to be rated significantly higher in emotional appeal and perceived depth.” In this image, the high luminance contrast and animal silhouette also help - the human brain naturally tracks silhouettes and interprets them faster than detailed forms, according to a 2022 analysis by Adobe. As a result, this image combines an excellent use of composition and visual flow: The elephant is placed near the lower third intersection, creating visual interest. The sky dominates the frame, enhancing the elephant’s loneliness and strength. And the cloud and sunset glow create natural leading lines. When looking at its dominant colors, this palette harnesses that emotional interplay (warm vs cool) to convey a quiet grandeur and existential solitude. And here are the main colors that help in conveying such emotions: Stormy midnight blue (1c1d27) Muted indigo (2e2f3b) Golden amber (f2b85e) Burnt umber (3a2e1f) Smoky sienna (a1754d) @nomadict: What is the first thought that comes to your mind when looking at this image? 🐘📸
