When little bit of yellow, orange or red is added in the composition as spice, they complement each other to give an astonishing image. They can also provide a good backdrop in case, we are shooting a fashion or glamour picture. These colors work well for delicate products like toys and cosmetics. On the other end, they also work well for strong, heavy engineering products. They are capable of conveying the content of a photograph in a peaceful way.
