Color juxtaposition is one of them. Color juxtaposition provides your viewer with clearly defined stopping points in a photograph through color combinations. In a way, they work similarly to a focal point. The difference is that a focal point is a small part of a composition that attracts a lot of attention, while color juxtaposition might cross the entire composition! It’s not limited to a particular point. Take a look at the image below. The color juxtapositions (sometimes referred to as ‘color contrast’) located in the photo above are so dominant that they literally cause your eyes to jump across the image like a checkerboard: yellow, pink, red, and blue! Color juxtapositions work because they create “breaks” in a photograph. These breaks can take a viewer’s eyes right through a photograph to the final destination. The red “power color” of the dome is a strong draw for a stopping point. The cross is a focal point that solidifies the red dome’s power in the shot. The blue sky, while quite saturated and beautiful, is a receding color. It falls back into being a frame. Do you see how color juxtaposition leads the way? The next time you’re photographing a scene that contains different colors, try to put to use the ideas presented above for a more compelling composition.
