Color temperature and white balance are elements that every photographer and cinematographer must understand. Every shot needs to be lit and every light has a color temperature. So, whether you want realism or something abstract in the colors of your image, a firm grasp of color temperature and white balance is absolutely necessary. In this video, we’re going to explain the science and creative choices behind these concepts so that you can master the lighting and color temperature in any scenario.
So, what is color temperature? Skipping over the extremely difficult math and science, color temperature is the color given off by a particular light source. For example, a candle is yellow/orange while a clear sky is bright blue. These color temperatures can be identified on a scale or spectrum, measured in Kelvin (not Celsius or Fahrenheit used for measuring actual temperatures).
But knowing the color temperature fundamentals doesn’t stop there, that’s just one half of the puzzle. The other consideration is the white balance setting of your camera. So, what is white balance? White balance is a setting that adjusts how colors are registered. Most cameras have preset white balance settings to choose from so that if you’re shooting outside on a “daylight” white balance preset, the colors will register the same in-camera as they appear to your eyes.
So, in most shooting scenarios, you’d want to capture those accurate or true colors. But there might also be a situation when you want to boost the orange or blue colors beyond their actual color temperature. This is most commonly achieved by either adjusting the color temperature of the light source, like with a gel, or by adjusting the white balance camera setting.
There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to color temperature and white balance. They are simply another set of tools image makers use to dial in their perfect shot. And once you understand the rules, you’ll know how to break them.
