Texture photography is one way of drawing the viewer’s attention into the image. Photographs that use this technique create impact by showing different textures. When used correctly, the effect of the texture of the elements in the image can become as commanding as the use of pronounced colors, dramatic scenery or induced movement by lines.

I chose to do texture photography because I think texture photography is a cool way to attract attention to the viewers eyes.

“As I see it, the creation of photographic art has two primary elements – the art of “seeing” and the art of “capturing” what is seen on film.” – A quote form Adrienne Adams

Creativity: I showed the phases of a hair flip

Photoshop: I used the clone stamp and select tools

Aspects used to convey myself: Shows my personality because I like to flip my hair

Time and effort: I spent 3 days on it
