William Eggleston
Williams subject matter is everyday things like storefronts and motel rooms. The details in his images are important. Eggleton helped make colour photography a legit form of art as it was only used commercially in the 1950s. His colour work was first shown in a Museum in 1976.

| Thoughts: The contrasting colours in this image are the red and blue in the clothing. Blue is a cool colour and red is a warm colour adding contrast to the image. |
 |
| Thoughts: The blue and red in the womans dress are contrasting colours. they stand out against the yellow, green, brown couch. |
 |
| Thoughts: The yellow and green are next to each other on the colour wheel and are found in her dress. They both complement each other. |
 |
| Thoughts: The red and green are contrasting and complementary colours and are both on the other side of the colour wheel. The red is a warm colour and the green is a warm colour. |
 |
| Thoughts: The colours on the bag are a mix of warm and cool tones. Her shoe is a warm tone. |
 |
| Thoughts: the dark red on the sheets and the greeny blue wallpaper on on opposite sides of the colour wheel. Both colours seem very cool tones but red is on the warm side of the colour wheel making this image contrasting. |
