In photography, colour does far more than add visual interest. It shapes the mood of an image, draws the viewer in, and helps communicate the story. In our Chase the Rainbow project, we celebrate colour by focusing on a different shade each month. Whether that’s seeking out the colour in nature, spotting it at home, or styling a scene with thoughtfully selected props and clothing, the project encourages creativity and seeing the world through a more colourful lens.

“Brown is the color of hearth and home — of dried herbs and stone-ground bread and freshly baked cookies.” Leatrice Eiseman

The first colour for 2026 is brown. Brown is anything but drab! It’s a beautifully warm, earthy colour that creates a feeling of coziness and nostalgia. Coffee, chocolate, crispy dried leaves, tree bark, stuffed toys, pets, architecture, we see so much of brown in our everyday lives that we can easily overlook its magic.

Colour is one of the most powerful tools in photography. Colour can evoke emotions, tell stories, and transform an ordinary scene into something extraordinary. In our Chase the Rainbow project we explore the beauty of a different colour each month. Whether that’s finding the colour in nature, around the house or setting up a scene with colourful props and clothing.

“Silver, gold - I don't discriminate! I like sparkly things.”  - Charlaine Harris

This month’s theme was Gold / Silver. These shiny, metallic colours evoke a sense of luxury and glamour. Each carries its own distinct mood: gold is often associated with warmth, success and celebration, while the cooler silver suggests reflection, clarity and quiet sophistication. Together, they feel especially fitting for this Christmassy time of year, bringing a touch of sparkle and seasonal magic to every image.
