Welcome to week 20 of the 2024 SlickPic 52-week Photo Challenge! Thanks for being on the journey, and being committed to improving your skills.
This week’s Challenge is: Patterns and Textures
Photographing patterns and textures is one of the most effective ways to exercise your eye for detail and observation skills. You can find interesting patterns and textures everywhere, both in nature and man-made spaces. They come in different shapes, sizes, and colors, and may stand out on their own or complement the main subjects of your photo.
In this challenge, your job is to make patterns and textures the star of your photos. Look for repeating shapes and elements around you for patterns. Or get close to different objects to translate visually what they feel like — are they hard or soft, smooth or rough?
There are many ways to create visually pleasing images that showcase patterns and textures. If you need some ideas and inspiration, check out these useful guides from Picture Correct, Expert Photography, and Adobe.
