Texture Texture in photography refers to the surface quality, tactile appearance, and visual pattern of objects or subjects within an image. It encompasses the fine details, roughness, smoothness, and tactile characteristics of surfaces, such as fabrics, foliage, architecture, skin, and natural elements. Texture adds depth, dimension, and visual interest to photographs, enhancing their tactile and sensory appeal. Photographers use lighting, composition, and focus techniques to emphasize texture and capture the intricate patterns, contrasts, and tactile qualities of subjects. Texture photography explores the interplay between light and shadow, highlights and shadows, and different materials to create visually captivating images that engage the viewer's sense of touch and perception. |
