As summer approaches, we often want to incorporate its essence into our photos. Let's explore what summer colors are and the types of photos that use these colors.
Blue Skies and Ocean Blues
The quintessential symbols of summer are blue skies and the ocean. The vibrant blue provides a sense of refreshment and freedom. Photos of beaches, pools, and skies naturally evoke a summer vibe. Especially with ocean photos, combining waves, surfboards, and sandy beaches can create dynamic expressions.

Green Nature
Summer is also the season when greenery is most abundant. The deep green landscapes of mountains, forests, and parks are full of vitality. Incorporating nature's green in photos of camping or hiking will enhance the summer feel. Additionally, green is a soothing color, offering relaxation effects.

Summer Festival Scenes at Sunset
Summer is also synonymous with festivals and fireworks. Fireworks lighting up the night sky, the lights of festival stalls, and people in yukata evoke the essence of summer. Fireworks photos, in particular, capture the special moments of summer nights with colorful lights decorating the sky. Lanterns and neon lights are perfect for expressing the liveliness of summer nights.

Contrast of Sunlight and Shadows
The intense summer sunlight creates stark contrasts between bright light and deep shadows. Photos utilizing this contrast are another way to express summer. The shadows of buildings, people relaxing in the shade, and patterns created by light and shadow can create a unique atmosphere by focusing on summer-specific lighting.
