Lesson Task – Color Theory - Practical lesson task 1

Use a color photo of your choice and create the following color effects (as per Nigel French’s video) – you should hand in four separate works of the same photo with the following effects:

  • Create a fluorescent duotone

  • Apply a monochrome look

  • Split toning of the image

  • Freestyle: Create a color effect of your choice

For this task I chose one of my older macro shots of a very unique moss I found in the mountains in Norway. I think it has a nice amount of colors and defined shapes,that would work good with the task. Although I have the RAW file somewhere on my computer, I worked with the edited JPEG in Adobe Photoshop. I have to admit, I have experimented with different photo edits for my photos on Adobe Lightroom before, so I had a brief idea how to achieve the desired looks, but it was still helpful to learn how to do it in Photoshop as well.


Original photo


Fluorescent duotone


Monochrome


Split toning

Freestyle

For the freestyle I chose to make a selective color mode of the photo. I boosted the reds and orange, while fading out all of the other colors.
