TWO COLOURS
Sometimes, limiting yourself can lead to the most creative images. For this theme, your challenge is to create a photograph in which two colours are the stars of the show.
Look for ways to bring two colours together through contrast, harmony, repetition, balance, or tension. They don't have to be complementary colours—even two subtle or similar tones can create a powerful image when used intentionally. Pay attention to how much of each colour you include, where they appear within the frame, and how their relationship influences the composition, mood, and story.
And this week, I want you to challenge yourself. Blue is everywhere and is one of the easiest colours to find, particularly in the sky, water, and architecture. Try to resist the obvious choice of blue and look harder for something different. Seek out unexpected colour combinations—perhaps red and yellow, green and pink, orange and purple, or two colours you wouldn't normally put together.
The colours can come from anything: architecture, nature, street scenes, objects, clothing, or the unexpected details you encounter around you. You can even use post-processing to refine the colours and strengthen their relationship.
Most importantly, don't simply find two colours and photograph them. Create a photograph where the relationship between those two colours gives the image its story, emotion, and visual impact. Look beyond the obvious, challenge yourself, and show us something we haven't seen before.
