Complimentary Color

This image is of my boyfriend's shoe next to his backpack. I realized that day in class that they were complimentary colors and would fit perfectly into this project. I had him set down his bag next to his foot and i got on the ground and took a picture. After I chose the photo I wanted to use I put it into photoshop and made the picture color selective. Only showing his green backpack and the red of his shoe. The main component of this photo was to try and capture the colors and the contrast between the two.

The photo showcases informal balance because the backpack is heavy on one side while the shoe is smaller and takes up less space. There is sharp focus gives the photo more detail in every aspect of the photo. In order to fully capture the complimentary colors I decided to do select color to get the brightest red and the clearest green. The windows in the room I was in were open and the lights were on making the photo have high key lighting.
