We spend a lot of time working on all sorts of techniques and ideas to improve our photos, including things like composition, editing techniques, settings, and a lot more. However, one thing that gets a bit overlooked is color theory, and this fantastic video tutorial will show you how you can apply it to your own images to improve their quality.
Coming to you from James Popsys, this great video tutorial will show you how to apply color theory to your photos to create more eye-catching images. This is something that I think gets overlooked quite a bit, particularly at the point of capture. We spend a fair amount of time working on color toning in the editing process, and that can definitely be a great way to add a professional touch and infuse your photos with your personal style. However, you can only reasonably push colors so far in post, at least not without a huge commitment of time and effort, and taking the time to consider your color palette before you press the shutter can make your editing life a lot simpler while also improving your work. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Popsys.

Color theory is more or less arbitrary, a mixture of aesthetic and scientific approaches. There are many different approaches, which differ greatly. The video obviously refers to Goethe's color circle. But not much is left of his theory. At the end is the color theory of Harald Küppers. The differences are striking.
