Lime and Orange Color Theory

A color theory photography assignment in which we needed to apply a principle of color design from the Bauhaus Color Theory during a photography shoot in the studio. I felt like working with some citrus fruit, which made the studio smell fabulous!

I chose the cold-warm contrast of orange and green citrus fruit because I think they inspire a sense of excitement that might come with eating bubbly citrus fruit. I centered green instead of orange because in the Bauhaus theory orange sets off more psychological flairs than green, and green can be a little less striking to look at as a result.
