When it comes to taking your photos to a bold new direction, incorporating a single, striking color as an element into your shot is your friend. We’ve considered the color green a great way to jazz up our photos for as long as we can remember. But we also get how it can be risky to play around and experiment with such a deep, rich shade, especially if you don’t have enough time and resources during your shoot. So we decided to gather a crop of gorgeous green photos to show you the many ways you can pull this charming color off—from portraits to landscapes. Scroll down, and get inspired to go green with these ideas!
