The red point

Many photographers know about the laws of picture contrast, namely about the black point and white point in photography. But there is also such a theory that you need to have a point of red in the plot.

If you flip through the Instagram of world street photographers, then almost every picture reflects all the basics of contrast, color and composition. Almost all photos have a red element.

If not taken literally, the red point is some area of ​​the photo with red color. Warm shades of red work best for perception.

The ideal color would be red as close as possible to bloody. With color correction, you can slightly shift the shade of red towards a warm one, and muffle the saturation.

Yellow, brown, orange colors also look good in the photo, but they are not mistaken for a red point.

At worst, the red dot can be the rear lights of the car.

Even an insignificant element of the background, but with a red tint, enlivens the photographic plot.

Red is the color that should be as large as possible in the photo.

If you're an aspiring street photographer and your winter photos come out gray and boring, then look out for the red dot in your shots!

Red can be so muted that it is barely readable in the picture, but its presence will still make itself felt!

Photography is not only about finding light. Searching for color is even more fun.
