Setting out to include contrasting colours in your frame can be challenging, on some occasions luck can be on your side, as was the case in making this image.
Yellow and purple are complementary colours on the colour wheel, meaning they create a striking contrast when placed next to each other. Using these two colours in a photograph can have a few different effects, depending on how they’re incorporated into the composition.
In this example the pairing of yellow and purple has created a bold impact leading to a visually stimulating image set in a scene of urban decay. The vivid colours stand out against the grey dilapidated building. While purple dominates in this image, the yellow provides a strong contrast and gives energy to the lady walking out of the frame.
The challenge for the photographer is to be alert to see contrasting colours and to use them effectively within the frame.
