Color

Since the Lumière brothers' potato starch-based colour photography process, known as "autochrome", colour photography has come a long way. While some photographers believe that "coloured complication" disturbs visual simplification and takes away from the artist's wishes in favour of black and white, others believe that it is easier to read and perceive naturally, and thus to impregnate the work. Today, colour photography is an integral part of the image and its application has become widespread in most photographic uses.
