THE COLOR GUIDE
Color is one of the first things we notice in a photograph. It shapes mood, directs emotion, and quietly determines how an image is experienced.
The Color Guide is a comprehensive deep dive into how color works, technically, creatively, and emotionally, and how to use it with intention in your own photography. Inside, you’ll learn how color theory applies in real-world shooting scenarios, how light transforms hue and mood, how to build cohesive palettes, and how to edit with precision instead of guesswork. This isn’t about presets or trends. It’s about understanding.
The workshop includes:
• A 100+ page in-depth PDF guide
• 25+ video lessons with demos, explanations, BTS, and editing walkthroughs
• Custom printable color charts
• Hands-on exercises to apply what you’re learning
We’ll explore:
• Foundations of color — theory, schemes, and psychology
• Light’s impact on color — natural, created, gels, and atmosphere
• Technical color control — working spaces, common issues, and precision editing
• Building strong palettes for single images and full series
• Styling and composition strategies that use color to guide the viewer’s eye
