What are the unique challenges faced by Scott Kivowitz as a color blind photographer, and how does he overcome them?

Scott deals with a few specific challenges as a color blind photographer:

• Certain colors look identical when they are next to each other
  • Deep blues vs black
  • Some oranges vs browns
  • Blues vs deep greens (he once thought blue walls were green)
• Low light makes color differences even harder to see
• Color perception issues can appear while shooting and especially during processing

To overcome these, Scott:

• Uses tools like the ColorChecker Passport when shooting
• Calibrates his monitors with a ColorMunki
• Asks his wife Melissa and trusted labs to verify color and do color checks
• Soft proofs and relies on objective references instead of guessing
• Is open about needing help and encourages other color blind photographers to do the same

Is there a specific part of his workflow you are most curious about: shooting, editing, or printing?
