Summertime is here and this calls for different kinds of textures. Last week, I spent a lovely day at the beach with my fiance and while walking along the coastline, we collected quite a few mussel shells. At home, I made a big pile and created these textures from it. I hope you find them useful. Enjoy!
Here is a nice and colorful collection of hi-res spray paint textures on different metal surfaces. I found these on several garage doors on my way home from my first skateboarding photography session, when I had take a detour with my bike. This proves that it can be very beneficial from time to time if you go off the beaten track and as a consequence discover something new. Let me know, what you think of these images.
I was on a skiing vacation in Austria and came back with lots of wood textures. Here is a collection of the most outstanding ones. This pack includes 6 high quality images of various sorts of wood or bark. I hope you have fun working with these!
A few weeks back, I went to an antique market in Belgium and besides looking for some hidden gems at the different stands, I was able to take some nice pictures of old wooden chests and antique chairs. I really love, how colorful some of these textures turned out to be, but look for yourself…
Here is nice little texture pack, which includes various images of concrete, clay, slate and bricks. I made these shots in and around the old house of my girlfriend’s grandmother in a village Germany. There were a lot of houses with their outside walls being covered with slate or clay, so I was surrounded by beautiful textures.
When trying to come up with new ideas for textures, I often turn to Flickr for inspiration. The vast amount of texture images on there is overwhelming and sometimes makes it hard to find the ones you are looking for. In order to make things easier for you, I created an overview with 5 groups, which offer a great variety of texture photos and have a solid user base, so that new content keeps flowing in on a regular basis.
