Simple steps to use color to elevate your photography brand! With @platoux / Colors and brands share a close connection, as colors can instantly convey meaning and messages, eliminating the need for words. Furthermore, color alone can influence people’s attraction to a message about 60% of the time, increasing brand recognition by up to 80%. If you are starting as an outdoor photographer, to use color effectively and build a strong brand on social media, consider the following steps: 1) Get familiar with color theory and think about colors that complement each other or are analogous on the color wheel. Complementary colors create high contrast and catch the eye, while analogous colors provide balance and harmony - pictures 7 and 8 are good examples. 2) Identify the dominant colors in your favorite landscapes and see which color combinations work best. 3) Choose color schemes for the landscapes you photograph the most. For example, have a specific color scheme for deserts, mountains, forests, and coastal areas. 4) Consider how light, weather, and the seasons can affect the colors in your go-to landscapes, and plan your trips accordingly. 5) Edit your images following color theory, adjusting the tones and hues to your selected color scheme. 6) Once you have completed your edits, select your favorite images and organize them on Preview, Canva, or any other tool to see how they can fit together on your feed. 7) Create a color-based feed for your social media, following color theory and considering the color combinations in your landscape images. 8) Lastly, establish a schedule or visual roadmap to guide your color choices and maintain consistency. These are some basic guidelines you can use to start with! By applying these steps, you can effectively use color to enhance your brand and create a visually compelling presence across your social media channels. If you think about some of your favorite photographers, could you quickly describe their go-to colors? 🎨

Photos by Canon Explorer of Light @alexstrohl: “A tribute to the RF15-35mm F2.8 L IS USM lens: This is the hardest lens to pick images from. So many photos, so many I still enjoy looking at from time to time. After all, You’re only seeing 14 shots out of more than 140K! Perhaps my favorite feature of ultra wides is that they tend to exaggerate the relationship between foreground and background. That always makes for a dramatic effect, especially if you love to look for layers in your compositions. The biggest party trick of this lens is that it can show the foreground in great detail, making it very immersive to the viewer. This is a piece of gear that helps create work that people can stare at for quite some time. And if the foreground is uninteresting, you can always zoom in a bit to 28mm or 35mm and, boom, you have a lens that can do portraits. It’s common wisdom that there is no perfect Swiss Army knife, but this lens is as close as it gets for me 🫡” 📸 #Canon EOS R5, EOS R3 Lens: RF15-35mm F2.8 L IS USM

This female cardinal showed up on a cloudy morning, and the soft light brought out her colors beautifully. Sometimes the best shots come from the quiet moments and the softest light." #ShotOnCanon 🐦 📸 #Canon EOS R5 Lens: RF100-500mm F4.5-7.1 L IS USM
