The Importance of Saturation

A big part of color photography is taking into account the colors inside the frame and their relations to each other, before taking the picture. Observing and considering these are important, but they are not the only things you should take into account when creating an image with your camera. Now i know what you're are thinking, "What else could you possible have to take into account besides the colors and their relations to each other?! Won't you please tell us!? WE HAVE TO KNOW!!!

Well, my answer to you is this... READ THE TITLE OF THIS POST!!! That's obviously the answer to your question, I mean did you just skip right over the title because you thought it was important? IT'S THERE FOR A REASON! Why wouldn't you read it? Would it really have been that harmful to your existence to read the title of the post? Maybe you thought that reading the title was pointless because reading the actual post would give you the main point of the post. But what would happen if you read the post and then you were left with a bad taste in your mouth and felt like it was a waste of your life? You would probably feel the need to blame me for wasting your time and then be compelled to leave me terrible comments to convey your disdain. Now if this is the case, it is perfectly fine to come to the conclusion that this blog post is a waste of your time. However, it' is completely unacceptable to blame me for wasting your time because it could have all been avoided by you taking the time to read the title. One final reason you might not have known the answer to the hypothetical questions presented in the previous paragraphs is that you read the title and then fail to connect the dots after reading the opening paragraph. If this is in fact the case i suggest that you stop reading this post right now, in order to avoid anymore misunderstanding, confusion, and/or headaches. Now for those of you who made it through this last paragraph and do not fall into that last category, yes the answer is color saturation.

Color saturation is very important to take into account when taking color photos. The reason this rings true is because the saturation of the colors in your photographs can affect the feeling and/or message you are trying to convey with your photograph or photo series. With that being said, I was very impressed with the use of color while observing the work of Allison Sexton. Her photos seem to be mysterious, and sad, and the colors match perfectly.
