8 Tips for Better Color Photography
Why do some colour combinations work so well? How much colour is too much? How can you control colour in your shots when you can’t control the scene you’re shooting?
Good or bad use of colour is one of the biggest factors in why some photographic work looks amateurish, and some looks stunning. Learning how to use, control and edit colour is a vital part of learning colour photography. A lot of that is down to what you choose to put in the frame, but also there’s a large influence from how the colours are tweaked in post production. So I’ll take you through 8 quick tips, tricks, techniques and ideas for shooting and editing that will hopefully help you create photographs that use colour well.

OMG finally an actual explanation of Calibration v HSL! Thank you!
I was unsure whether to put that bit in, so glad it's appreciated.
@@jamiewindsor Honestly, it's the thing that differentiates if from just a regular talk about color I've seen so many times. I think it's a very good idea to put more of those little technical explanations, especially when it isn't that complex to present. Additionally, it all came together in the end, because you showed how to work with complementary colors, not against them in HSL which was a key point of intro. Love your content! :)
@@jamiewindsor I also really appreciated this. I've been using the calibration panel for a while without really fully understanding what I was doing so this was super useful.
10/10. Also my favourite part of the video.
@@jamiewindsor that part was my absolut favorite in the video. Glad you didn’t leave it out.
I feel like that calibration part... it's the one thing no photographer or UA-camr has wanted to reveal before. SO POWERFUL.
The only problem with Jamie Windsor videos is that I cant play them in the background while I'm working... they demand my full attention!
Yes, I hear you, was trying to edit, but you miss so much!
Set VPN location to Argentina, buy UA-cam premium for $12 for the year. Job done.
@@Luke..luke..luke.. that's not what he meant. He was saying that for these videos it's crucial to actually watch it with your eyes to take in all the information, and that merely listening to it wouldn't suffice.
Haha 100% paused this while editing so I could watch it with all eyes another time 😅
Jamie, I hope you realize you have by far the most useful photography advice on this platform. Seriously. I cannot believe this content is free. Thank you for all your hard work :)
ikr!?
I mean i cant even find similar quality videos on skillshare and on other sites where u need to pay :D
Totally agree - amazing!
Facts
I just discovered Jamie 20 min ago, that was my first thought.
When you showed the bonus tip about changing to Camera Settings, my jaw literally dropped... No wonder it never looked right when I imported my photos! Thank you for that!
Never really got the difference between HSL and Calibration. Now I understand the power of playing with the calibraition ! Thank you for sharing your knowledges !!!
This quite literally changed how I approach grading ALL my photos and have given me a sense of excitement in photography that I didn't know was possible. Thanks for taking me back to school, Jamie. Always good to revisit design fundamentals.
Me, being the hardest person to concentrate on stuff, specially UA-cam tutorials, I really love how you animate your videos to keep attention. Great job, Jamie!
setting the LR preference to Camera settings, game-changer- you rock Jamie!
I spent a fair while thinking my EOS R didn't have as good colours as my 5D until I worked out that Lightroom wasn't applying the profiles from the camera.
I assumed camera profiles didn't affect RAW, isn't that correct?
@@arianjamali6183 They affect Raw files, but they're not embedded. They can be manually changed in post.
Do you know how to change this in Lightroom CC..? I don't see it an option.
Lightroom CC also doesn't even have the Calibration feature! 😭
Jamie's videos deserve way more views. Amazing content.
Everytime there's a new Jamie video, is the same: I click only if I'm not in a rush. Then, I watch it once, marveling at the making of the video. Then I watch it again, making mental notes about the class he’s teaching
Jamie ! Never ever stop comming back to your video! The quality of it are incredible. I learn photography in school for 2 years 100% of the times about photography and the crazy part i learn much more in your video. You don't teach camera stuff you teach photography. That's a big difference in my book !
The motion graphics and presentation as a whole is superb! Thanks Jamie🙌🏽
I've watched several videos on color grading is this by far the best one I have seen. You did such a great job, I love how you showed the color changes on the color wheels and then on the images, made everything so clear and relatable. Thank you for explaining all this and taking the time to put together such a great video!
I 120% agree..😊👍👍
I can't say thank ypu enough for sharing your knowledge. The way you explain things really gets to the bottom of a concept instead of just explaining how to move sloders in Lightroom or whatever tool.
Yes another JW masterpiece! 🙌🏽
you saved my time to say exactly the same
Best channel for learning, inspiration and all! thanks Jamie !!
You are one of the most underrated channels on yt... You provide value to my time and give me knowledge, i would love if you can produce more videos... But i also think that they will loose their magic... You are the only channel that i check regularly to see if you have posted new content... Keep up the good work.
I'm a simple woman, I see a Jamie video and I click.
The one and only photographer who convince me that studying photography could be more complex then my medical study , yet you provide information in a great way
Ha way more. I read a lot. Whenever my medical friend talks about medical stuff I usually can add things she never realized. I wonder how much she could understand photography at my level
Honestly the best lesson I've received from videos. Everything else just showed me how to use the HSL slides, but this explains when to use them and utilizing another editing category to grade the photos.
The HSL and Calibration explanation was excellent
The BEST video that I ever saw about color in photography! Tks, Jamie. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is now one of my new favourite videos
This has been the most helpful content on colours I have watched. Thanks mate!
by far my favourite photography channel, great video, thank you!
Hey Jamie, I just wanted to leave a comment to say that you are my favourite UA-camr hands down. Calling you just a UA-camr feels like a disservice somehow. Your videos are clearly made with a lot of passion and hard work and it shows because everything is so well thought out and well, incredibly enjoyable to watch! I leave every single video feeling revitalised about photography and inspired to keep creating and pushing myself to do better. Thanks !
Genuinely one of the best photography channels on UA-cam. Always super inspired watching these videos!
Can't believe this content is free 😁 amazing value, thank you!
Your videos are so lucid, well-spoken and instructive. The transitions, examples, and amount of thought and planning are really astounding. Thank you Jamie for creating such wonderful, informative and inspiring work.
Just being shown how to use tone curve properly has made this video incredibly valuable
Normally i dont rly post comments, but your videos are so unbelievably well edited and calm. Gives time to absorb the information and think about own projects or ideas. well done Jamie, hats off
I have been editing FOR YEARS and NEVER understood or used CALIBRATION. WHAT A TOOL !!! Thank you so much !!! Such a rich tutorial!
Jamie your voice and pronunciation are like ASMR to my ears 🌻
You always have the best tips and tricks. You don't over complicate things. Your videos always click with me. so, thank you!
It's the most useful explanation of calibration section of lightroom I've ever seen! Thanks!
My god, your mograph skills are poppin! those transitions in the intro were amaaaaazing!
I really love your videos on photography! When I'm stuck in the editing process, I always go back to your videos to get some inspiration! Thank you for giving us great content, Jamie!
Brilliant as usual. Even on a topic that for once I knew a bit about there were still some great new pointers, but what sets your videos apart is the connection to real-world fine art photography and knowledge of these concepts in practice, not in a vacuum or gear framework. Cheers
I always learn so much from you! It's hard to express how grateful I am for the work you put into each video. Thank you!
Thank you. I'm glad you find my videos helpful.
Seriously, this has got to be the best, most precise colour tutorial I've sever seen! That color analogous and calibration vs HSL was on point! Thank you Jamie for sticking to the basics rather than feeding people with presets without understanding the whole clockwork. I'm forever your biggest fan! Sending love from the Philippines!
This is one of the best color tip videos I've seen. Clearly explained and answered without getting overly technical or abstract... and no blathering on and on about the obvious!
Jaime, honestly, you are absolutely amazing, and I cannot thank you enough for your beautiful and insightful videos. This last one especially, the HSL vs calibration has been a game changer for me, and my photos are now vibrant in a way I could never achieve before. Thank you so much.
Each time I see a new video of JW is ready, I wait for the good moment to enjoyed it and learn. As it was a documentary, or a film... there are, indeed, something like that for me! Your work is brilliant, inspiring, admirable. Thanks for sharing!!
Jamie, I don't know if you'll ever read this, but I feel so strongly that I need to thank you. I've learned and grown so much from your tutorials and I owe so much of that progress to you and your tips.
That calibration tutorial was just amazing!
!!!!! This explanation about HSL calibration is a huge help. Finally I understand it, thank you so much!!!!
This is an incredible video, I’ve been watching photography and editing content for 10 years and I learned more about color and especially color calibration in this video! Beautifully explained, thank you! 🙏🏻
You are the best teacher I ever had!
Amazing how much one can learn with a good teacher. Thank you, Jamie. Always a pleasure to watch your thoughtful, informative, and beautifully crafted videos.
Jamie, again a brilliant video that even I can understand. As your dad I’m so proud of you
Of the many videos and classes that I’ve seen on the subject you’re one of the best

This is the best tutorial on color calibration I've just studied ! Crystal clear and to the point ! Great works !
Thank you for all your insights. I'm learning a lot with your work. Also I bought the presets. :)
Very, very helpful and instructive. Thank you very much for this, Jamie!
Love the quality of your videos! they really help me understand creative work better!
It is always a treat when I see a new video from you. Content and aesthetic are spot on. Thank you Jamie!
I want more Jamie's videos, because of the content itself, but also a Jamie video explaining how Jamie edits Jamie's videos. Pleeeeasseeeee!
jamie is one of my top 5 photographers
This is more useful than all the other color tutorials I've seen combined. Thank you, btw for not making this video just an ad for your presets, refreshing to find someone who actually cares about people learning more.
This was an excellent video. I love when I learn something I can put to use right away -- your explanations of the HSL and Calibration panels have given me an entirely new way to approach photo editing. Thank you!
Great video Jamie! Such a simple explanation of colour.
never even tried using the calibration slider as didnt understand its purpose, so this was eye opening...... Jamies videos are so educational and i always look forward to them, click like even before ive watched all the way through
Amazing videos you create! Thanks. Very precise, concise and clear and helpful
I learn so much with your videos. I immediately pulled up old photos and am reediting them! Thank you!
Thank you for the great video! purchased your presets twice now looking forward to the next batch!
This is fantastic, every section is worth rewatching
we need more videos like this❤️your tips and tricks are awesome!!
You have a knack for easy to understand explaining. Also your graphics are top knotch.
Such a masterclass, especially on colour grading! thanks so much!
Great vid, Jamie! I knew a lot of this before, but separately. And you showed the whole thing in a more practical way.
Very informative and easy for understanding. Thank you for sharing!
This is the video about color I was waiting for, THANK YOU! Fascinating and super well explained🙂
always enjoy hisvideos, not only the how to-s video, but the also for the peppered in personal thoughts - and that he has a very easy to listen to voice.
Best UA-cam channel because you concentrate on improving the creative process for us rather than the gear. Huge thank you. Taking me back to Art school. Please keep diving into subjects you find important.
Such a great video. Calibration overview is brilliant.
the calibration vs HSL section was so helpful, and kinda blew my mind a bit
Very good indeed! Love the pace of the video, it caught my attention from start to end!
You can achieve what you are doing with the Calibration tool in lightroom, very well and with a far more control in CaptureOne by using the Color Editor + Skin Tone tool with its uniformity sliders. Many oversee the Skin Tone tool and think it's only a skin tone tool, but it can be used for any kind of color manipulation, then combine that with layers and the only limit is your imagination & creativity.
Another fantastic and very helpful video, thank you Jamie 👏🏻🙏🏻
Excellent video! Thank you, Jamie!
Great vid Jamie , I will have to watch this one again a few times. Great info in it as always you vids alway make we realise how much I don’t know about taking pictures.
This video is just brilliant! Thank you for all the useful information you share🙏🏻
Thanks a lot for your work! Every minute spent for your lessons bringing me forward of me photo and video skills.
well done sir! Lots of great , insightful info ..thanks Jamie
Amazing video as usual! Thank you for your work!
Amazing video. Thank you so much. Especially the quick Lightroom Tutorial was so so useful. It answered so many questions I had. Thank you 🙏
You make by far the most helpful videos I've found on youtube! Informative but digestible and always keeping the emotional importance of things in the forefront :)
Dude those animations in the intro are awesome, the whole video is
Brilliant... Learnt a lot.thank you. This will change my photos forever.
This is so excellent, especially the calibration info neat the end!
Wow, what a great video! Thanks for explaining everything so neatly
Love it! Jamie has done it again!
This just elevated my editing (and photography) enourmously! I tried a few things on lightroom and the results just blew my mind! thank you so much Jamie!
Always a new education watching your videos. Its so simply put even novice can understand. Thank You.
This vid has wrong title, it should say "Color masterclass for beginners. You need this"
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
I always get so many ideas by watching your videos...it is so inspirational! Thank you for that, Jamie!
