Understanding Color in Photography: Using Color, Composition, and Exposure to Create Vivid Photos

I found the book quite interesting. Indeed, the author talks of composition but my perception of the information is that he discusses what colors complement each other, how to add dynamic impact through color contrast and even the emotional associations with color. His book is well-dotted with his photographs to illustrate his points. One thing I found strange was how to expose one's image in order to get the best color saturation. One cannot argue with his results. I enjoyed reading this book and will definitely try some of his suggestions when shooting color in the future.

For someone who has never studied color this is a great start. It has made me more aware of the color.

This book makes color theory enjoyable. It gives a big variety of practical examples. It makes you take your camera and go out to start practicing. I highly recommend this book.

I found it very meaningful in understanding color photography. Color is duly explained as a compositional element in photogtaphy. The theory of color is described in a colloquial and friendly way. The meaning of color as a form of expression is dealt with. The photos are beautiful, and each of them is explained both aesthetically and technically. I own the kindle version and read it in my iPad, the resolución is very good. I enjoyed reading this book on color photography. Thanks Bryan and Susana.

As a photography lover, learning more is helpful; this book was as described and will be enjoyed.

Brian Peterson does it again with an Amazing book that helps all photographers. Brian has a true gift for teaching and explains things in a matter than almost anyone can understand. The color theory he teaches you on this book is extremely helpful to advance your skills. Even if you’re more experience photographer I would highly recommend it.

He leído ya varios libros de B Peterson, y este sigue con su característica facilidad para enseñar las técnicas fotográficas de manera sencilla y entendible, tanto para fotógrafos principiantes como avanzados.

Bryan is one of the best teachers I have come across. He is simple in approach and execution. His tips and techniques work!!!He really makes simple what alot of other photographic instructors complicate. BUY THIS BOOK if you want to learn great techniques quick.

How many books on photography deal with only one subject throughout ? Not many. Of those, how many deal only with colors and how they impact your photographs and viewers ? Even less. This is one of them and perhaps the only one. The subject is fascinating and the photographs back up the information beautifully. If you want to learn how color composition and combination can have a dramatic effect on how you and your viewers respond to your own photographs this is THE book.

Great book. Easy to understand. Would recommend.

Is a good complement to the book Understanding Exposure with extensive explanations and examples to understand how "see" color in photography.

Another well written book by Bryan Peterson who has a natural way of teaching beginners the great art of Photography.

Excellent book on color
