This month, express yourself in new ways by shifting your approach to color. Tell new stories by capturing, isolating and refining colors in your photographs – giving color a new role to play in your work. Post your images to VSCO with #ColorStory to give us the opportunity to feature your work.

Capture a colorful subject in a neutral environment to guide the eye to specific pops of color. Edit with our SS1 PRO preset to saturate the most vibrant colors in your composition, while leaving the rest of your photograph unchanged.

Find or create a monochromatic setting to fill your frame with a single hue. Experiment with HSL, Split Tone, and Saturation to unite and amplify color throughout your composition.

To tell a dramatic story with your composition, push prominent hues deeper with HSL. Select a hue you want to shift and try lowering Lightness and increasing Saturation to give it more prominence and weight.

Framing an image with a color border can completely change how it is perceived by the eye. Create a custom border using the Borders tool to replicate an exact color in your image, or play with complimentary and discordant borders to see how it shifts the color story being told.
