Analogous Color

For this project we were suppose to take images that incorporated colors that are next to each other on the color weal. I had a very difficult time figuring out what I wanted to take a picture of, until I saw these three colorful lollipops. I used my Canon Rebel T5 and photoshop to take this image. I used photoshop to make the background of this photo black and white and the lollipops in color. Some of the photographic techniques that I used are: close ups, leading lines which is shown by the lollipop sticks, selective color which is shown because the background is blurry and the subject is in focus, and high key lighting which is shown by the bright colors. I used the following elements of art in my artwork: color which is shown by the multiple colors, line which is shown by the lollipop sticks, shape which is shown by the geometric shapes, and texture which is seen on the lollipop in the front. To add interest to my composition, I used these principles of design: contrast which is shown by the different colors and textures, the balance that is used is informal balance, there is emphasis on the lollipop in the middle, and there are patterns shown on al three lollipops. This completed work makes me feel good, because I feel that I did a good job at using selective color.
