Brown

8/31/2018

The color brown happens to be one of my favorites.  There was a point in my life where almost every piece of clothing I owned was either brown, or had brown in it.  Something about this earth tone really attracts my eye.

This week's blog circle theme is "brown," which can be interpreted in a vast number of ways.

After the green of summer, we are coming up on browner landscapes as autumn approaches.  I have been using more earthy backgrounds in the studio as well.

Here is what I have come up with this week for brown.
Picture
Our little Luke in a reflective mood in a brown toned portrait.  His coloring lends itself well to the browns around him. He is not a huge fan of the camera, but every once in a while, I can catch him being quiet.  Think big, expressive movements wrapped up in a little dog, and that's Luke.  So I was lucky to get this photo.

I think mostly white colored dogs show up well on earthy tones.  I added a texture to the background of this photo.  Burton does have one brown eye and one blue eye, so you are not seeing things.  He is typically cooperative for photos.
Picture
Even kitties show up well with a brownish treatment.  The brown flecks in Barney's coat are highlighted much more in this toned setting than they are on a white background.

There are many different options for earthy tones in the studio, and soon nature will follow with her own palette.  I also sometimes use digital backgrounds in earthy tones, like the one below.

For more on the brown theme and to see what's going on in the circle, start your trip with Darlene of Pant the Town Photography serving MA and NH.  I'm happy to be back in the circle and hope to continue now through the end of the year!  Enjoy your Labor Day weekend!

Burton has such a sweet face. I'd snuggle with you any day little one!

I've always loved brown, too! One of my favorite colors to wear! Beautiful images, Elaine! Love little Luke's expression in the first image. Very pretty digital backdrop - I'm so ready for Autumn!!!

What a lovely portrait of Luke and Burton looks like a sweet soul. Good job getting a portrait of a cat and that last image, with the "tunnel of tree" is just gorgeous!
