Inspired #47
Working with patterns and textures.
Hello and welcome to Inspired, a weekly email for my paid subscribers. In this series I want to explore topics which I hope might spark some inspiration for your own photography. I will talk about my thought process for creating images, both in the field and in post processing. The posts will be linked in some way to the monthly challenges, hopefully giving you all lots of food for thought.
Patterns and textures are everywhere in nature. They make up small parts of the wider landscape and are present in all of our images most of the time. They can be physical elements or something more transient where light and shadow play across the land. Wherever we find them we can use them to enhance our landscape images or if we look more carefully we can use them to create compelling images in their own right.
For this week’s inspired post I am going to look at patterns and textures and discuss how we can use them to create single images or combine them to create triptychs where the final image is often greater than the sum of its parts.
