What is texture?
- A surface with rough or raised parts which you can feel or see.
- The main part of capturing texture is to get the lighting right.
- Texture can be accentuated by the side light of early sunny mornings or early evenings, or by overhead light when the sun is vertical and high in the sky.
- Hard light - small light source
- soft light- general light source, cloudy day
This image is an example of texture. You can see the raised parts and cracks in the elephants skin, which are the textured parts.
Examples By Photographers
By Patrice De Villiers
This image by Patrice De Villiers is of still life food. The image really emphasises the texture of the food making it look fresh and appetising. I like this image because I think the concentration on the texture makes the food more realistic and the image a bit more effective.
Sebastiao Salgado
This photographer has really concentrated on the texture of this animals scales. This is very effective because it makes the animal look very realistic. To me it represents a feeling of fear in the audience, the way the animal looks in the image is almost as real as you would encounter it face to face. Whereas if the image was less focused then it wouldn't inflict the same fear or feeling.
