Colour Grading 

A director who has a distinct colour grade to his images is Wes Anderson. He has a very distinct style and colours that he uses in his films and scenes to create moods and feelings that will draw the viewer into the scene. The images above are some examples of the various scenes from his movies and his use of colour that he has used in his images. His use of this stands out and is easily identifiable of recognising his work.

Colour Grading

To try this technique I decided to use fashion image. I choose to follow the instructions found in a youtube tutorial. 

First  - decrease the saturation of the image

Second - Use curves to play with colour - Red, Green Blue separately

Third - Use levels to correct colour exposure -  Red, Green Blue separately again. 

Finish and Save.
