Here is a brand new collection of hi res door textures. From now on, you are able to preview all images of a pack inside the post and I will also give you the possibility to download each texture separately. Clicking on the images will open them in a new window and from there you can just save them to you hard disc. Another way of doing this is just right-clicking (crtl-click for Mac users) the images and selecting “Save link as…”. You can still get all textures at once in one zip file, which is located at the end of the post.

Today, I would like to share a few locations, which I think are great for texture photography.

From personal experience, the most productive photography sessions I had so far, took place in the forest. Most of the times, you have a great variety of bark due to the diversity of the trees. Next to that, if you are in a humid area, there is a great chance of finding lots of moss and fern. (more…)

It’s been almost 2 months now, that I am supplying my readership with all kinds of textures. Apart from Lawrence, who told me that he used one of the textures in one of his wedding photo books for a client, I have no clue what you guys are doing with all the images. However, I would love to see some samples of your work, so if you made something creative and would like to share it with the rest of the crowd, feel free to leave a comment with a link to your piece of work. It would be a shame to see all the textures getting buried on some hard drive! So don’t be shy and get some exposure for your design work!

Take the following ingredients: a wild creek, sunny weather and a bridge and you can end up with a nice collection of water texture pictures. I could aim the camera at the same spot and take completely different shots every second. This resulted in the first water texture pack, which you can get by clicking the download link below.

I guess that you are hungry for new textures and now that I am back from my little trip to the Austrian Alps, I have plenty of new material. To start off a new series, I present you the first free wood texture pack: 9 high quality shots of different kinds of wood including stacks, benches and shingles. All you need to do is to click the download link below. Enjoy!

Although I am still on vacation, I did not want to abandon this blog completely, so I prepared this little post in advance. This way, you don’t have to wait too long for new high resolution textures. So here is the second edition of free stone texture packs. Again, I tried to include a diverse selection of stones in this collection, which contains 7 hi-res images. Grab your free textures by clicking the download link below!
