Learn More About Michael Henry
I think colorblind people probably have an innate strength with tone.
Michael Henry, Filmmaker
When I see a tree, I see it’s very vibrant and colorful. But I’m not seeing those color differentiations in there, but I’m still seeing tonal differentiations. I can see the underside of the leaf is dark, the top of the leaf is bright, but I’m not seeing color differentiation like a non-colorblind person would see.
