COLOR Photography by Kennet Islandi Havgaard

It’s all about colors.

Colors bring about an emotional response in each of us. They stimulate emotions and feelings subconsciously.

Colors are important for understanding the world around us.

Each define our world, they help us sense, feel and validate our surroundings.

Each of the colors of the visible spectrum represents a unique characteristic or personality. Color can like nothing else set a mood and make us associate with the past.

Color is science and art but it is also a language. A language where the substance is defined by shape, size, angel, density and light, all part of a photographers toolbox.

You are sitting with a collection of images, where color play a significant role: if the images had been black and white, they wouldn’t have the same impact just imagine.

Enjoy!
