SpotShift Mono.

A high-contrast photography language. Strip the environment down to a monochrome foundation, keep at most three isolated colours alive, then push the RGB channels 2–5 px apart wherever those colours meet a hard edge.

(03) Three rules Composition requirements

Three rules make it SpotShift.

01

Monochrome Base

Convert the background to black, white, and grayscale tones for maximum contrast. Everything that isn’t the subject goes grey.

Foundation · grayscale
02

Spot Colour Restriction

Isolated colour is limited to a maximum of three — one primary is recommended — applied only to the hero object of the frame.

Restriction · max 3
03

RGB Channel Shift

Displace the Red, Green, and Blue channels by 2–5 px across isolated colour areas and high-contrast boundaries. The signature.

How the shift is made.

01

Monochrome base

  • Add a Black & White adjustment layer.
  • Mask the subject so its original colour survives — max 3 colours.
02

Channel separation

  • Duplicate the coloured object into two new layers.
  • Layer 1 — untick the R (Red) channel.
  • Layer 2 — untick G (Green) and B (Blue).
03

Execute the shift

  • Select the Move Tool (V).
  • Nudge one layer 2–5 px horizontally or vertically with arrow keys.
