Textures And Surfaces

When working on textures and surfaces it is important to take into account the composition, light and depth. This is because texture is all about pattern, colors and depth, where every single detail plays a significant role in the overall perception of the photo taken. To capture this you need to remember intricate details, interesting patterns, vibrant colors and good depth. For example:

2) Equipment - You will want to keep your aperture at about f/8, as you don't want to introduce shutter shake, which is what you want to avoid the most.

3) Light - You should mainly use natural light like the sun to take pictures like these, as the rays of light will hit the texture at an angle creating an effect. Whereas inside you obviously need a off-camera light, which can imitate sunlight.

4) Depth of field - By messing with the depth of field, you are able to create a seemless effect within the image, to perfectly blend a pattern into a backdrop.
