Using the Elements of Art to Find Beautiful Patterns
The key to shooting texture...
WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: Texture in Photography
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Capturing texture in a photograph can add visual interest, highlight unique patterns, or even evoke emotions. Texture photography overlaps with many kinds of photography, including everything from fine art to classic portraiture. Texture also plays an important role in macro photography.
HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: You will practice different techniques and gradually show your success!
For Part 1 of assignment...
The Assignment...
The Assignment...
For this assignment, you will photograph TEXTURE in three different ways.
You will photograph TEXTURE subjects in 3 different ways!
YOU choose what you are shooting! Do NOT just copy these ideas! Be creative!
YOU choose what you are shooting! Do NOT just copy these ideas! Be creative!
You MUST compare and contrast TWO DIFFERENT textural qualities... SMOOTH vs. ROUGH
SMOOTH
One of the photos to exhibit a dominance of SMOOTH texture!
Look to your lighting to help convey smoothness in texture.
The viewer should be able to describe the photo as FEELING SMOOTH.
ROUGH
One of the photos to exhibit a dominance of ROUGH texture!
Lighting and color will help convey roughness.
The viewer should be able to describe the photo as FEELING ROUGH.
Dominance and Subordination are both Principles of Design are ways of creating an emphasis or focal point to an artwork!
SMOOTH & ROUGH TOGETHER!
Find a 3rd subject with both SMOOTH & ROUGH to shoot!
FOR THIS SUBJECT, find something that you believe will look great as a BLACK & WHITE image
(Hint: make it Black & White in Photoshop using an adjustment layer!)
Lighting and contrast will help convey smoothness AND roughness.
The viewer should be able to describe the photo as FEELING ROUGH & SMOOTH.
Reminder...How to turn image black & White:
Depth of Field...
There may be instances when a lot of depth of field is warranted. In other pictures, shallow depth of field may help to accentuate the texture that you're trying to highlight.
DEPTH OF FIELD (DOF)
DEPTH OF FIELD (DOF)
The amount of space focused on at one time controlled by the APERTURE (f stop).
f22 (SMALL Aperture opening) = Deep/Great DOF
vs f1.4 (LARGE Aperture Opening = Shallow/Less DOF
The LARGER the opening of the lens (small f Stop number) the LESS/SHALLOW the Depth of Field.
Only the dog is sharp when using F 1.4 and the background appears blurred/out of focus.
The smallest opening (large F stop number) the GREATER the Depth of Field. The dog and the background are sharp when using F 22.
Remember! Texture Does NOT mean PATTERN! Make sure your photos convey the feeling of the texture!
