Hi there colorphiles
Apologies if this is off topic, but here goes.
I am a technician at a photography school. I am wanting to do more to
support a photography student that is Red Green colorblind. Giving up
on him is not an option I will consider. He is very determined to be
a professional photographer. He has a great eye for composition and
sense of lighting and bundles of get-up-and-go. But i see he will
need a lot of support to work around managing color in his workflow.
Especially as he leans toward portraiture.
Has anyone worked with colorblind photographers / clients before?
I have two main issues for me at the moment..
1- I am having difficulty getting across to him the problem i am
seeing in his color of his finished files. Of course he cant see it.
So managing the color in his workflow is currently lower on his
priority list than I'd like. Any suggestions?
As for his tutors, I'm showing them Photoshops color blindness soft-
proof preset with a few images to give them an idea of the magnitude
of the issues this student is facing. Maybe there are other resources
out there too?
2 - Software / workflow tools he might be able to use to help manage
color.
thinking Xrites colorcheker passport for his portraiture.. similar
or other ideas?
Your help with suggestions, thoughts or experience with this would be
appreciated.
Apologies for being OT
Kind Regards
Peter Miles
