Analogous Color

"WILBUR AND CRUZE"

This image is of my car just before dusk. The red-orange of the wall is a color adjacent to the red of the car on the color wheel. I took this image by taking a long drive around town looking for colors that would be analogous to the color of my car, which I intended to use for a subject. I took many pictures of the car trying to make an image that is both compositionally interesting and shows the red against the orange clearly.

This image employs rule of thirds and high key lighting along with analogous color. The setting of the project changed constantly as I drove around, but this is the location I settled on. The picture is supposed to feel empty and solitary as the car is unoccupied and surrounded by nothing. If I were to change something, I would probably erase the bird poop off the car. I didn't notice it.
