Photo Tip: Using Color To Create Energy

© 2010 Leia Jobe

Throw a splash of color against a monochromatic background... this draws the eye immediately and gives a touch of dimension to an otherwise plain setting. In this case, I used selective coloring (i.e., leaving only the skirt in full color and muting everything else) via tools in Lightroom... but most modern photo editing software is capable.

AND when photographing little girls, you can't go wrong with a flowy ballerina skirt.
