this episode is a love letter to color. Not just as an aesthetic choice—but as psychology, science, culture, and storytelling.
We start with a fictional moment on a busy New York City street, then dive into a 5-minute crash course on color theory (Bill Nye style), unpack cultural associations across time and geography, and land on practical ways to use color intentionally in your work. Whether you’re new to photography or 10 years deep into your career, this episode will challenge you to see color not as decoration, but as direction.
You’ll also hear vintage narration clips from the 1998 documentary Light, Darkness and Colours. For more info, visit the Top Documentary Films page.
Plus: old-school science film voiceovers, an Ira Glass-style segue, and a dad joke buried in the ad break. You’re welcome.
Creative Challenge:
Use Adobe Color to explore a single color palette. Build an entire image—or image series—around it. Let color drive your lighting, styling, and emotional arc.
