Texture Photography Write Up

               Texture photography is one way of drawing the viewer’s attention into the image. Photographers that use this technique create impact by showing different textures. Texture will be defined as the surface detail of an object. This detail can be composed of surface irregularities. Contrast, curves and patterns are aspects of texture photographs which can help compose an image. Contrast, whether tonal or color, makes the texture detail show up even more. Curves help convey a sense of movement with leading curves directing the attention towards the focal point. Non-leading curves have no specific direction but still give information about the image.
