Although I appreciate the analytical approach that Tony gives us, these highly creative instruction videos from Chelsea are pure information gold. This is the content I crave. I still want both of you to provide content, but I admit that a video from Chelsea gets me excited for all the right reasons.
This video, combined with Ted Forbes video on arrangement of elements make for two amazing teaching lessons…. There’s an idea, maybe edit together a workshop book by all the big UA-camrs. I know I’d buy it. It would be informative and sentimental!
Thanks for doing this -- it was really helpful :) I think I'm going to go out and shoot tomorrow with a particular focus on color. Will be a good exercise.
Chelsea, great content! I’m a newer nature photographer. I’ve spent the last year “collecting” species shots. Mostly animal or bird portraits. I realize I need to up my games to understand more about design and art to truly create impactful images. So, keep these coming! I love your channel and content!
Thanks for this Chelsea! I'm glad I stumbled across it. You guys packed a lot into less than a half hour. I appreciate the thought you put into this, as well as the masterful video/tutorials skills involved in making a clip like this. Respect.
This is really valuable. I watched it straight through and was able to follow because I had a previous workshop that had color as one of the topics. It reinforced what I had learned and had started to forget. It even went beyond that. Can’t wait to give it a try. I have to reject my 47 years of journalism that what a scene actually looks like must be exactly what you should see in the photo. I had put my color wheel aside from the other class but will now get it out again-or buy a new one from Amazon if it is lost.
Thank you for the feedback, Alton! It’s interesting g you mention your journalism background makes you strive for a look that’s true to what you see. I think a lot of tech-leaning photographers are the same way. Maybe now you can shift to thinking about what’s true to what you feel as an artist
I'm about 10 minutes in, you've already convinced me (slightly red/green colorblind) to shoot only black and white from now on. Fascinating stuff though. Lots to think about.
Super useful. I've already seen the application of colour theory but this video truly helped me starting to actually feel it instead of just "ok I know this exists, let me take a cheatsheet somewhere to follow". Thanks for the content.
WoW! Very helpful. Before watching this video i think the only way to pop the subject is lens with a wide aperture but now I know a lot. Thank you a lot Chelsea🙏🏻🌹
Yes, I am one of those! Thank you for this lesson! (this comment is after watching the first 20 seconds. But I know I'm going to learn from this, so THANKS!)
Excellent, Chelsea; thank you.... I really welcome your channel's photography info. I do have both your main book and your Art/Science course but it is always good to see another take on it and this has really reminded me how important colour-manipulation is. Also, your reminder about colour gels (those pieces of coloured cellophane one places over flashlamps and even lenses) has me delving in a long-forgotten camera bag for mine. All the best to you both from a colourful UK (we even have purple grass - or shall soon!) :)
Truly a great video, Chelsea! Important, and can help you in a lot of aspects of life (clothing etc). I learnt a lot of this (primary, tertiary, complementary colours etc) in Housing & Interior Design 12. I took it to impress/chase a girl as the females outnumbered the males 2 to 1 in this class. It didn't work, but it helped my photography and colour matching incredibly. 😁
Thank you. Extremely helpful. I’m going to try changing the colors on my subject and background. Bird against a more cluttered background than I would have liked
Thanks Chelsea, this video is packed full of really important information that helps anyone make a big jump from average to great ;) I wish I had this info years ago
I'm only at 10mins so far , really liking this . Is there a section here that covers getting accurate white balance / colour for skin tones especially for portraits ?
This is the most powerful color scheme tutorial I have ever come across. Why don't photographers talk more about the dimension of color? Thanks for the unique video.👍
Great video. Worthy of playing repeatedly. Next time I will take some notes. By the way, Tony didn't appear in this one but I want to have a relationship like you two have. Perhaps in my next life. I failed miserably in this one. Lol.
Your daughter made a great Vermeer girl. I took art classes in college, but some of the concepts I did not link to photography. Your video was helpful and interesting.
Nice! In movie colour theory, you're "supposed" to follow the 60-30-10 rule. One colour takes up 60% of the frame, the next takes up 30% and is complementary, and the last colour takes up 10% of the frame and consists of highlights/details. This is to make the scene look less cluttered and distracting. So, it probs works for photos as well :)
One of the best things I learned about colour is to get pop you should maximize Colour Variability. Essentially you cool the white balance of warm tones (like skin) then increase saturation. Then you warm the white balance of cool tonal areas (like skies) and then increase saturation. It sounds counterintuitive but it works.
What program is she using to show the different color schemes where she chooses 5 or so colors and it shows them to the right of the image on the color wheel and vertically all together?
What is the version of the Lightroom u are using? I couldn't see color grade on my own

Maybe someone has asked or maybe has been covered in previous videos but… one you have your RAW pic, where do you pick up the colors from? I mean… from the sea and rocks pic, where did you toke the colors? Why those? It’s something you choose whichever is the pic or those are some of the present colors in the pic and had made some aleatory selection? 🤔🤔🤔 please, help me cause I’m getting mad with all this instagram reels people applying this colors to a pic but no one tells you where they take them from. 🙏🙏🙏 thanks and sorry if that info has been shared previously.
So you are using traditional Color Wheel with complementary colors red and green. Others use the RGB Model with complementary red an cyan, which is easier to handle in post and color correction. Why do you NOT use the RGB color wheel?
This is very interesting Chelsea, thank you ! We want more of this haha :) I don't know why, but the photos you show are really low res compared to the video :/
Wonderful content about mindfully building an artful photograph. Refreshing not to hear your talking about photo-beauty, not camera talk and banter. Suggestion for future content: analyze the color in Kodachrome slides that makes those images instantly recognizable as Kodachrome and how to approach that look in Lightroom.
i would like to see you singing and playing the piano but this kind of videos are awesome too. you guys used to do this not just gear. i know this is not what call viewers.
Great explanations of color theory but I don't think a personal website is necessary these days to hire someone with all the social media apps people are addicted too.

One of the best videos on yt for
understanding colour better ❤️
I love these videos! It feels like a one-on-one tutoring. Truly appreciate the sharing of knowledge.
Dude.... Seriously. SERIOUSLY, good video!
This was really informative. I didn’t think about how color can enhance mood.

You told me you wanted fewer gear videos so I made this for you ❤️📷🎨

Thank you Chelsea for adding informative "color" as an upgrade to another level.
Chelsea, great content! I’m a newer nature photographer. I’ve spent the last year “collecting” species shots. Mostly animal or bird portraits. I realize I need to up my games to understand more about design and art to truly create impactful images. So, keep these coming! I love your channel and content!
This was great! Thanks Chelsea. You have a natural teaching style that's pleasant and engaging. Really enjoyed it.
That selective color layer tip at the end 🤯. I was unaware of that. Thanks for the great videos!
THANK YOU for making this video, I really feel like this will SIGNIFICANTLY increase the quality of my work.
I prefer this types of videos from you guys as opposed to the "X brand beats Y brand???". Also, thanks for posting this for free.
Thank you Chelsea for another great video!
Thank you, Ben!
Superb lesson. Life changing. Thank you.
Thank you, Art!
Thanks for this Chelsea! I'm glad I stumbled across it. You guys packed a lot into less than a half hour. I appreciate the thought you put into this, as well as the masterful video/tutorials skills involved in making a clip like this. Respect.
Wow, what a brilliant tutorial! Thank you so much Chelsea.
Very nice overview from color theory thru postproduction! More of these videos would be a great idea! Thanks!
Excellent !! Now I know a tiny bit about colour and how to use that the create better pictures. Thank you !!
This is a great video! Great delivery Chelsea. Worth watching over an over. Definitely made it to my “Best of the best” playlist.

An excellent turorial. Thank you. I learned quite a bit.

Thank you, Andy! I hope it inspires you to edit your photos and think about colors more
one of the best videos of your chanel! i bookmarked it for reference and rewarch
Thanks for the quick and easy to understand version :)
Just what I need to spice up my photography!
Your best video. I have been wanting this. Its not new info, but I don't know enough.

Thank you for making this! I have been trying to learn more about this very topic.
Great video. 👍
I would love to see a follow up on how to incorporate black, white, grey, and brown into the concepts that you covered.
This is one of the best color theory video ❤
Thank you for your great videos! They really motivate me and help me improving my pictures.
Thanks Chelsea, this video is packed full of really important information that helps anyone make a big jump from average to great ;) I wish I had this info years ago
Awesome! Thank you so much for this. Very helpful.
Man... im in LOVE with Chelsea
Brilliant 😀 Really helped. Thanks Chelsea. You are stealing Tony's technical crown though 😅🤣
6:12 -- Fantastic photo from the famous and original painting, by the way!
excellent video ... thanks for sharing Chelsea
Heck yes, Chelsea day!
Great video!! Thank you, Chelsea!
Thank you so much for this video! I learned a lot! 👍🏼🙌🏼
Thanks for this video! Very informative.
That's the videos I expect from Tony & Chelsea
Great video Chelsea, learned a lot from it, thank you

Very well done Chelsea~ thank you~

So guys, watch and like this, since this is an awesome one and that is what UA-cam needs to be told ;)
Thank you Chelsea.
Brilliant. Thank you.

Great Video Chelsea thanks - Changing the subject can you do a video on setting up a square space website?
Great video! thanks!
This is a very informative video. Thank you.
Your daughter made a great Vermeer girl. I took art classes in college, but some of the concepts I did not link to photography. Your video was helpful and interesting.

Good work keep it up🤠
Nice video, instructive
Thank You very much!
Very helpful. Thank you.
Great video, and super helpful :) Maybe these videos don't do as well, but personally I love them.
Also, is there a way to pull those colors directly off a color wheel to put into the photo?? 🤨(like how you did on the yellow one)
Great video

Hi Dris, sounds interesting. Can you refer us to a tutorial or article please. Many Thanks
@Chelsea Northrup Is this the type of material included in the Art & Science of Photography Video Training?
What graphics tablet do you use Chelsea? For photoshop and graphics ?
What program is she using to show the different color schemes where she chooses 5 or so colors and it shows them to the right of the image on the color wheel and vertically all together?
Thanks for this lesson. Now I know what was wrong with all my images.
What is the version of the Lightroom u are using? I couldn't see color grade on my own

what program are you using?
I'm not gonna lie, your daughter would make a really good model 👍
You're my photography mum
Um i know this is a dumb question but what color won’t combine with black?
This is very interesting Chelsea, thank you ! We want more of this haha :)
I don't know why, but the photos you show are really low res compared to the video :/
Hi I'm a new photographer how can I get in touch with you for private lessons
I would love to see some lessons without post-production.
Great video!
9:45 I am guessing the top right one is Tony. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nice video, btw!
Wonderful content about mindfully building an artful photograph. Refreshing not to hear your talking about photo-beauty, not camera talk and banter. Suggestion for future content: analyze the color in Kodachrome slides that makes those images instantly recognizable as Kodachrome and how to approach that look in Lightroom.
Great.
Min 9:23 "...the only other colour is green..." where is the green? I don't see any.
i would like to see you singing and playing the piano but this kind of videos are awesome too. you guys used to do this not just gear. i know this is not what call viewers.
I suppose this working only on Photoshop.
Great explanations of color theory but I don't think a personal website is necessary these days to hire someone with all the social media apps people are addicted too.
Now I can say I've studied color theory
first image only good shot is the original.
Goodness Chelsea, you look hot here!
