Texture

Texture is a very important element because it can bring intensity or realness to a photo. When there is more texture, the photo is brought to life. I tried to get closer to my object so while photographing I could show all the different textures. I chose to photograph the different parts on one of the flowers close up so I could get detailed texture where it’s more noticeable.  In the photos you can tell that the flowers I chose were fake. You can see the texture of the silk knowing it’s fake but from far away or all together they look like real flowers.

 

Lighting

I chose lighting for my first element because lighting can change a lot of aspects in a photo. Lighting can change the way someone looks at a photo by illuminating a certain side, color, or focus point and it can also hide or bring less attention to part of a photo.  Lighting also sets the mood of a picture.  I photographed the flowers in sunlight, natural light, and lit light to show the difference of where your eye goes and how you feel about a picture.  The natural light photo is my favorite because I think it really brings out the vibrant colors but I also really like the sunlight because the morning sun brought in shadows, which I find makes the photo more interesting.
