Project: Building a Library of Colours

This project, and the next exercise, involve photographing images that feature, or are dominated by distinct colours.

The colours to be captured are those of the painters' circle.


In the circle the primary colours of red, blue and yellow are represented alongside the secondary colours of violet, green and orange.

The following exercise calls for scenes, or parts of scenes, dominated by each of the primary and secondary colours. Each scene will be photographed three times, with half a stop over and under exposure, so that the variation will allow a closer match to the colours of the wheel.
