Colour is one of the basic building blocks of our photography. Colour adds interest, impact, mood, excitement to our images.
We often shoot using colour as an effective tool in our images without realising it.
Controlling or changing the colours in our images is a great way to create attention and to grab the viewer’s attention.
In this class you will learn how to use coloured gels to create amazing coloured creations with very basic gear. I will show you the gels that I use and how I use them.
You will see a series of live coloured gel shoots that I have done with a model.
I will explain what gels are and how to use them effectively.
It is a very simple technique.
You can do it indoors, outdoors and with any subject
You can use any light source including the sun.

When we want to manipulate the colours in our photographs we often use gels.
Sheets of plastic glass or other transparent materials of various colours used to change the colour of light

You can use gels on location (outdoors) at night or in subdued light or you can use them.
A darker environment is best so that the coloured gels will have maximum effect.
You can use hard light or soft light. You can even combine gels with other techniques such as light painting, long exposures or double exposures.
