Los colores y tú

The secret to applying what we know about colors in practice is to understand how our organs perceive them and how we react to their presence. Color is a sensation that forces us to act instinctively and this book reveals the keys. 'Colors and you' is the first book that teaches you to interpret and solve the enigma of colors at the moment of taking a photo. It is very different from other treatises that provide superficial and impractical information for the photographer and that speak generically of colors with statements such as "red is aggressive" or "white is the color of purity" without going any further. These pages provide you with the keys so that you know its most intimate meaning and its relationship with emotions, so that you can instantly apply them to your photographs. The first and second parts of the book focus on knowing colors through history and a series of scientific curiosities that make it as entertaining as 'Help me to look' at the time. You will learn that the first photo and the first film that were taken in color were not the ones that were believed until now; how Nero saw circus games to neutralize the red of the blood; how the color green influenced the death of Napoleon or since when brides wear white, among dozens of anecdotes related to the color. The third part of the book is entirely visual, with descriptions explaining why a photograph is brilliant from the moment you press the shutter button. Tino Soriano considers that the real difficulty of color photography is in perception and in the moment of taking it.
