Redder colours will create a warmer feel for your shots more than blues or greens.
Colour affects the way we look at pictures, so try to use colour creatively in your shots.
Look for images that contain contrasting colours, such as red and green or yellow and purple, to add tension or drama.
Using shades of the same colours will create a sense of harmony.
