Here is a photography twist on “more than meets the eye”. Photographer Tomer Razabi is known for his amazing captures of the dead sea. (Head over to his dead sea portfolio for some incredible views.
This is why I was kind of surprised to learn that Tomer is actually color blind. I thought that this was pretty weird as his photographs are extremely vivid and true. He made those photos to explain how he sees the world. Imagine this: the leading photo is kinda close to reality (a little saturated, right, but not that far off); the photo after the jump is how Tomer sees the world.
This is how Tomer explains it: In the photos you can see how I see the world. The red/orange photos are how normal people see they get the full color. The yellowish photos are what I see them. Actually, I barely see any difference between them…
Tomer ends with an inspiring message:
Being color blind poses many difficulties for me as a landscape photographer, mainly in the editing part. It took me a long time to develop a workflow and a sense of how I need to edit properly. I managed to do so with the help of good and skillful friends like Tal Duek Photography. Even today I still consult with people I appreciate before I finish working on a photo and send it out to the world.
If you struggle achieving results you want, don’t give up! It’s a matter of learning, trying, consulting and improving till you get to where you want
