Colors are the sugar of photography. We all love sugar. Colors strike us immediately in a photo and maybe there is a theory about color perception to figure out why some colors work well and let us say “Oh beautiful picture”. The blue of the sky, the colors of the flowers, the tone of a child’s skin. by Martino Pietropoli
Beautiful pictures annoy me. The photos I’m most interested in are not even the ones I would like to think of “Who knows how he did it”. The technique is interesting but usually I got bored more sooner than later. I’m only interested in photos able to capture my attention for at least 10 seconds. 10 seconds is a lot. Watching a photo for such a long time is a big thing, it’s more than the time we spend looking at a painting in an art gallery.
