Assignment 2: Colours

The brief for this assignment was to take photos of found or setup situations that showed one of the following:

• Colour harmony through complementary colours
• Colour harmony through similar colours
• Colour contrast through contrasting colours
• Colour accent through any of the above

Since I have had a 4 month break from any work on photography (I have a good excuse!!) I thought I would just post these assignment photos so I can move on with the new and old projects, so this is a little out of order.

Comments welcome as usual ;-)
