Final Project

Surface/Texture

My reasoning for developing this theme is simple; I feel that macro-style photographs of surfaces capture a lot of detail. These details are the ones that are always there, but that most of us never notice. For example, have you ever stopped to look at the intricate detail on the surface of a rock?

Moss on a Tree


To me, this photograph fits seamlessly into the theme. This is because, the detail of the  tree bark and the moss come together to form an immaculate combination.

Graffiti on a Rock


The reason I chose this particular photograph for this theme, is because it shows how humans have altered the surface of this rock. I tried to keep the graffiti in the photo, but i also attempted to make it a very minimal part of the image.

Wet Pavement


Though pavement may seem like a very ordinary surface, It is actually very interesting. This is because, pavement has a very random surface, which is perfect for my theme. In addition, since the pavement is wet from the rain, you can see the detail with ease.

Pathway at CHS


Pebbles, or small rocks are amazing for close-up photos like this. The reason is that the random dispersion of them has been shaped for a long time, by the shoes of countless people.

Water


In my opinion, water has to be the most interesting surface of all. No other textures can even compare to the one of water. I love how water droplets look, because they are both transparent and reflective. In fact, this is because how the light reacts when it comes into contact with the water.

Wooden Bench


This photograph is my favourite that i took regarding this project. I really like the colour in this photo, and surprisingly not much editing was done at all! Another reason why i like this photo is because it showcases two textures in the same photo. These textures being the naturalness of wood, and the metal tag that has been shaped by humans.
