Title: Proportions

Exercise: Produce one photograph for each combination of primary and secondary colours, adjusting your distance, focal length or framing to compose the picture in the following proportions:

  • Red & Green 1:1
  • Orange & Blue 1:2
  • Yellow and Violet 1:3

Approach: these images were taken over a period of several weeks as I became better able to ‘see’ possible combinations in the colours around me. The focus was primarily on colours in the domestic setting.
