Color blindness in photography? |
One of my friends wants to learn photography, to become a professional photographer. He has good normal vision, but, has 'colour blindness'-according to tests.Will this be a problem in entering him into photography? I have vision problems myself, I cannot see the LCD screen clearly to review the portaits immediately after they are shot, that Is why I have an assistant close at hand, if I have doubts. We review each series before moving on to the next subject. Through the viewfinder everything is clear with autofocus and diopter settings, but on the off chance that someone blinks, I may not catch it, thus the assistant. What I am trying to say is there is always a soulution, try different things and good luck. depends what he's trying to take pictures of... Ansel Adams, horribly famous photographer of the rebuilding after depression era, all black and white nature shots of national parks. No, I think that it might be difficult, but definetly something that can be dealt with. http://www.anseladams.com/ It depends on the type of photography your friend wants to get into, and their preferences. I am a professional photographer and colorblind, and I have had a few minor problems, here and there, but overall it has not been overly difficult. And it has been alot of fun, too. I am guessing your friend is "red-green (inability to distinguish red from green)" color blind, as this is the most common form. It could indeed cause problems, but if he's working in a studio environment, he shouldn't have a problem. While I have seen red skin-tones in my studio, I've yet to see a green one, so he shouldn't have to much trouble telling the difference. |
