Hello Photo Lovers!
This shot was taken by Shotbysud when I visited the Netherlands.
The orange color has a great tradition in Dutch culture.
If you ask ChatGPT why orange is such a significant color in the Netherlands you will find this answer:
"Orange is a significant color in Dutch culture, as it is associated with the Dutch royal family and the national identity of the Netherlands. The color is derived from the name of the Dutch royal family, the House of Orange-Nassau, and is often used to represent the country and its people.
In Dutch national symbols, the color orange is prominent, for example, in the Dutch flag, which features three horizontal bands of red, white, and blue, with the blue band being replaced by orange during national celebrations such as King's Day, which is celebrated on April 27th to honor the birthday of the current King.
Orange is also a popular color in Dutch sports, as it is the color of the Dutch national football team and many other sports teams in the Netherlands. The color is often worn by fans to show support for their teams and country.
Furthermore, Orange is seen as a symbol of Dutch culture and heritage, as well as a symbol of unity and pride. It is often used in traditional Dutch clothing, such as traditional Dutch costumes worn during national celebrations, and in traditional Dutch art and architecture.
In conclusion, Orange is a significant color in Dutch culture, representing the royal family, national identity, pride, and unity of the Dutch people. It is prominent in the national symbols, sports and traditional dutch culture."
Very comprehensive and too much information for my taste. Especially as I told the AI to only write 300 words. Well, this escalated quickly.
Why did Sud choose orange? He did not tell me. Was his subconscious mind deciding on that color? I will have to ask him next time we do a shoot.
You can see more of our work together on my Instagram and on my website.
