03 - Texture

The Dark Light

Can you feel an image? Absolutely. Some of the most powerful and alluring images are the ones you can feel as well as see.

For this week's assignment: focus on texture. It can either be a photo with a variety of many textures, or just a focus on one particular texture.

Before you shoot:

Consider the story of Brenden Borellini, the recipient of “Yound Australian of the Year” award. He was born both blind and death but this did not stop him from pursuing an interest in photography. An art studio made a special topographical printer that prints his images as 3D impressions. This allows Brenden to “see” his images by running his hands over the printed canvas and feel the textures.

When you go out and shoot for this week's assignment think about how your image would feel if it was printed on Brenden's printer.
