Use of colour

I have been looking at the photography of Miles Aldridge and the work of Titian for inspiration on how to use colour. I love the acid tones in Aldridge's photos which make the models who are in very static and almost dead poses look alive and vibrant. I also like the selected use of colour and the highlights of 2 - 3 main colours.




I think the work of Titian is inspiring due to the use of so much colour in a complicated composition which does not detract from the piece, but which instead brings it together. I particularly like the use of blue and coral pink which stand out for me in this work.
