Introducing a breathtaking book called Life in Color: A vibrant new photography book from National Geographic celebrates the power and beauty of colors in the world around us.
Life in Color, by world-renowned photographer Annie Griffiths, is a gorgeous gallery of 245 photographs that showcase the kaleidoscope of colors in the world.
I was amazed at the brilliantly stunning photographs. My 16-year-old daughter, Kendi and I were completely awestruck as we looked through this book together. We both enjoy painting, and we were absolutely inspired by the true life images of lush landscapes, tropical havens, and the unmistakable masterpiece that is the human body, as well as the beauty that can be discovered in all of mankind. There are quite a few of the photos that really stood out to me, from which I can vividly imagine trying to re-create onto my own canvas.
This book is the perfect coffee-table book, a wonderful avenue in which to share the splendor of life with family and friends.
About Life in Color:
Through chapters divided by hue, LIFE IN COLOR navigates the globe to reveal fascinating and astonishing images — a cave explorer suspended in a shaft of golden light; the purple reflection of a medieval Slovenian castle in morning mist; enchanting Japanese maples coated in thick green moss. Color is also used in surprising and unexpected ways — the iridescent blue irises of a young cougar cub in Canada; a man’s torso coated in thick silver paint for Carnival; and a stallion in a cherry-red harness standing before the Great Pyramids of Giza.
The chapters open with short essays on the meaning, feeling and symbolism of each color, such as the “friendliness” of orange and the “loudness” of red. Inspirational quotes about colors fill the pages, offering readers the timeless insights of great minds. The quotes are paired perfectly with complementary images.
The back of the book shows thumbnails of every photograph, which are available for purchase as frameable prints. Readers can use their favorite photograph as colorful inspiration to decorate their home or office.
“Here is your chance to revel in color, to pause and cherish each nuance, each variation in the spectrum that brightens our world,” writes National Geographic Books author and editor Susan Tyler Hitchcock in the book’s introduction.
LIFE IN COLOR will inspire one’s inner designer and revitalize one’s sense of perception and sight. It encourages readers to open their eyes to take in the glory and unmistakable power of color in the world around us.
