November 18, 2025 by mrgoldsack

When you were working on Black & White photos, did you think that the effect flattened details? What if you could bring out one colour in those photos?


Colour Isolation is post-production technique that brings out one specific colour or a subject from a Black & White image. Not only does this effect create an obvious level of contrast in an image, but it can be used with other composition ideas like Rule of Thirds or Leading Lines, etc.

The Assignment – DSLR or Phone Camera

In this assignment, you will need to take 6 photos that follow a theme and transform them using the Colour Isolation technique.

Check out the full details here – 2aColourIsolation

You can also find all the steps for this process – GuideIsolatingColours
