Question 1: Texture Many photographers have explored and emphasised the texture of surfaces. Aaron Siskind photographed peeling paint and Bill Mangold photographed rusty iron work. Klaus Pichler explored decaying food whilst Marc Anderson investigated texture in tree bark and wood grain. Study appropriate sources and produce your own work based on Texture. My initial idea for this question is...
What is texture photographer? The appearance and feeling of a surface (man-made and natural). Textures can be photographed using a range of techniques – close-up (macro), still life arrangements or on location. Subject matter can consist of leaves, skin, rust, metal, food, fabric, hair/fur, etc.
