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.

"I finally discovered the true color of the atmosphere, it is purple!” - Claude Monet

September’s colour is purple!

Blending the fiery energy of red with the calmness of blue, purple symbolises royalty, spirituality, creativity, and mystery. Rarely found in nature, it has long been associated with magic and uniqueness. Historically, purple dyes were expensive to produce, making the colour a symbol of wealth, status, and power. Today, purple continues to inspire imagination and individuality.
