The amount of information you packed in just 12 minutes is outstanding. I'm really appreciating this series.
You are amazing! I’ve been to college for videography, but I also do photos. Not a single teacher taught as much as you do in one simple video. Thank you!
my pleasure! glad to know you got value out of the vid :)
@@patkay Geez. You are using all the SAT words today, it sounds like you swallowed a thesaurus. You could say experimental or trial and error instead of heuristics.
Hello, how has it been? I go to college the end of this year, are you enjoying it? I am going for photography
You've created the most useful, foundational photography videos I've come across. It's like you're teaching us how to fish, instead of giving us fish. Thank you Pat.
Go make something that matters everyone ‼️ thanks for the extra push Pat.
thanks for watching :)
"The Emotional Color Wheel" is an excellent resource (Book) on the emotional values of color and even includes a lot of cultural connections. It also delves into the use of shapes as well.
This is the simplest breakdown I've seen to date on breaking down color theory and making it much more easier to understand. Great stuff!
What a fantastic video-short, to the point and loaded with great information. Looking forward to watching more of your work. Thank you Pat!
This channel has truly given me all the information that I've been looking for since I started photography. There IS a psychology to it, and I'm glad I finally found the doorway. 🙏
As a photographer myself, I really appreciate the way you explained colour theory. Love it!
Another incredibly informative and applicable addition to the series. Thank you.
Thank you, Pat! This series is amazing.Every photographer should watch it!
This might be the single best photography tutorial on the internet. Thank you!
Yay a video from Pat!! I really enjoy this series and I've watched them more than once - I hope you continue this series :)
I love your videos. Always informative and straight to the point. Everytime you post one of these, I actually learn from it as opposed to other photography videos where algorithm and sponsorship concerns are often the priority. Thank you so much for creating and sharing these videos.
I went from feeling fairly confident in my understanding of color (intuitively, as opposed to in a fact-based), to learning something completely new and that I will apply to my own photography. love the idea of the assignment. Thanks Pat.
I've had a camera for a long time now, but I often realize how little I understand about the intricacies of photography. This is awesome. Thank you.
Luminosity is called "value" in the world of painting. In painting, value/luminosity is considered the most important color dimension. Your videos are fantastic. Thank you!
Fantastic videos, great design, amazing (!) amount of knowledge being shared with a incredibly vibrant yet calm voice. All in all an absolute pleasure to watch and listen to. Thank you so much for making this serie!
Thank you! You're really one of the very few people that made me listen without skipping any second
Wow. I just feel like I learned a whole year of classes in 12 mins. When the video ended I literally said "wow. that was so helpful" thank you so much for posting these amazing videos, you are an amazing teacher, and I can't wait to go take pictures of blue this week :)
This is a good starting point, just keep in mind that not only do the colours themselves contribute to the composition and weight of an image, the inter-ratio of any colour to another further modifies this and is just as important.
E.g. an image with 50% red and 50% green will just be jarring, you will lose the complementry effect.
An image with 20% red (maybe its just a coat someone is wearing) against an 80% greens surround will establish the overall base of the image (dominance). The highlight or visual point of interest, the colour you are trying to elevate or draw attention to, will stand out more. Colour needs to be focused/targeted to get the impact you desire. Work your harmonies, but also think hard about what it is about each colour, that you want to promote or demote.
The more colours you introduce, the more complex this ratio can get. This also holds true whether you are using highly saturate hues or muted colours.
Putting a highly saturated subject that is 50% of your image against a muted complementry colour diminishes the jarring effect, so to just give you a bit more to consider, try to account for saturation too.
Colours.
Saturation.
Harmonies.
Ratios.
How you mix these will determine whether you get the effect you want or not.
Instrumentally informative, comprehensive and concise. Perfect video for diving into color theory.
Love the example of waiting for someone wearing green! Definitely puts the assignment in perspective. I'm going to have to try!
Nothing I personally didn't know but it is always a good idea to review the basics. Very informative and supremely clear for such a complex subject, great job!!
HONESTLY, this is one of the best photography videos I've ever seen !!! thanks Pat for making great content
Grateful for all the information you pack into your videos!
Awesome tutorial, your explanation behind the ‘why’ to practice was superb and has really inspired me. Thank you so much. 👏👏
These visual pattern videos really stand out in the UA-cam photo-sphere. Very inspirational
This channel is a treasure. The last time I got excited about the content of channel what when I found Sean Tucker. Good job bro!
I’m happy I kept this video for watching when calm. It’s very clear and comprehensive. Thank you!👍👌
Hey, I'm from Malaysia. I really love every series of your photography visual patterns, I'm looking forward for the next series. Great job!
I have had this on my watch list for MONTHS. I finally got to it and I’m so glad I did. I’m gonna try to use Adobe color and pick some colors to photograph like you said. Thank you!
Man, you are a fantastically competent instructor. Thanks for sharing.
This is pure quality! I believe that 12.04 mins of this clip took hours and hours to prepare it.
I love each content you drop Pat Carry On!
You are a very good communicator. You take complex info and simplify it.
Thank you so much for this, photography assignment is a really interesting thing to do and I'm going to try for sure!
I literally LOVE this entire series. I’ve learned so much from you Pat and truly appreciate how you explain and breakdown what photographs should pay attention to in order to scale their photos to the next level. Thank you!
These videos are incredibly helpful. I've always found colour grading in films etc so interesting. Some of my best photos use colours that compliment each other so will be great to take all these new skills and be a lot more intentional :)
This is one of the best videos I've seen about this subject, thank you so much for sharing this content!
so i started watching your videos lately and i just love how simple and informative these videos are keep it up

Love this - love the actionable parts as well. Cheers!

Okay wow.. loving this series. Your breakdown of color psychology 👌👌👌

Discovering ur channel is probs the highlight of my year so far ;)
genuinely thanking you for this video.
Wow, the video is incredible. I had a lot of photography and design courses in architecture and media university and never learned those principles and hacks!! Great!
Thank you for the knowledge ❤
I wish there were more examples this time. Thanks for the lesson sensei!
That was interesting,thank you for having put the effort in such a video, I was able to learn something. I wanna try the exercise of picking one color for the week and shooting 10 pics/day using this color. Have a nice day! ❤
Awesome and super helpful! Will definitely be looking to read more on this subject!
This was genuinely so informative. Subscribed
Brilliant, thanks for sharing mate !
Wonderful, clean, simple
Wonderful, I'm so glad that I found your channel.
Excellent and amazingly comprehensive walk through of colour theory - a topic of my interest for years. You explained so simple yet accurate. I've been studying the Colour Circle of Goethe, and I thoroughly liked your definitions of the distinction between objectivity and subjectivity.
learned so much from it. Thank you pat.
Very informative and it showed me a approach to go deeper, thank you so much ❤ 😊
I never miss your videos. Thank you so much Pat!
my pleasure! thanks for watching!
One of the best videos I’ve seen on colors. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this. I'm not a photographer, but I am learning web design and colour theory is very useful.
thanks man it is worth to try go out and find color that i choose
We can't thank you enough for all of your efforts and hard work. You truly are very Good Teacher for us. I am hoping maybe you can make a video on black and white what do you think about that color scheme
Very helpful, thank you. It would be good complementing this video with another one demonstrating the three color harmony groups in real post processing examples.
im whatching this as an illustrator, and its fantastic, ill start making drawings in specific colors to practice
I just came across your channel. I enjoyed your content on color. I took a lot value from it.
Very informative, thanks.
It's really fascinating me, thanks for your awesome tutorial. ❤
Oh man, the things I wished I learned 40 years ago. Thanks Pat, for my very first understandable and pragmatic introduction to colour theory. Cheers.
Incredible. Thank you so much
This is best part of UA-cam.. Totally loved the information. Subscribed.
