Color Creates Mood

Color Wheel with Tertiary Colors

Photo By Parker Fitzgerald 
To me, this photo gives off a warm, pleasant, and inviting mood. It does this by making the warm colors more prominent in the picture. The background of the photo is full of an array of oranges and yellows, giving the photo a very cozy and inviting feel. With the addition of the twinkly lights overhead, the photographer strategically enhanced this pleasant mood by constructing this specific set or going to an event where this set would be present. In addition to the main colors and the construction of his set, he also added a grain to the photo, as well as using the depth of field technique. These two additions makes the photo seem sort of old, and overall makes it appear not to be staged. Also, the depth of field, creating a blurred background, make the colors blend throughout the background, making the whole background full of the warm colors.
