Digital Photography School, one of the biggest blogs about photography, has a great article with 10 tips for shooting graphic textures. This is a must read for all aspiring texture photographers, if they want to find out, how they can achieve better results.
Over the last 2-3 weeks, lots of different articles about and collections with various high resolution textures have been published all over the design community. In this post, I would like to present the most important ones, in order to make sure that you don’t miss any of the action. So let’s get right to it:
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!
These pictures probably don’t qualify as normal textures, but I wanted to share this nice streetart anyways. All photos have been taken at the Landbouwbelang, an old warehouse building in Maastricht, which functions as a cultural center and hosts some exhibitions and other art events from time to time. I hope you enjoy these 10 high resolution images.
Famous Smashing Magazine published a huge inspirational post, which showcases loads of websites that use either patterns or textures as a background. And the best thing about it – highresolutiontextures.com has been included in the “wood” category! This is smashing news and such an honor.
