Simple photo project to pursue:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shoot textures.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Texture tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
  1. Shoot with and without a flash <\/a>(choose the photos you prefer)<\/li>
  2. Use Lightroom to process your photos to increase the contrast of your textures. I like to play with the ‘blacks’, ‘whites’, lower the shadows, and increase contrast to max to make the textures look more dramatic.<\/li>
  3. Generally speaking, I find the texture quality when shooting on a ‘standalone digital camera’ at least 10x better than smartphone cameras. I find the RICOH GR II<\/a> (in macro<\/a> mode + flash<\/a>) to be the optimal texture-photography camera.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    All textures are good<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    No reason to discriminate against textures. All textures are good:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Food<\/li>
    2. Concrete<\/li>
    3. Skin \/ flesh<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      I prefer shooting textures in color — but gritty textures<\/a> in monochrome also look good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
