Colour and White Balance in Photography

Understand how colour and white balance affect photographs and learn to produce natural or creative colour in different lighting conditions.

Understanding colour in photography

Colour influences the mood, atmosphere and realism of a photograph. Different light sources produce different colour casts, which are unwanted tints that can make white objects appear blue, orange or green. Recognising these changes helps you create photographs that look natural or achieve a deliberate creative effect.
