Exploring the Texture in Nature: Seeing, Framing, and the Living Detail

Close-up of natural textures in golden-hour sidelight — bark, lichen, leaf veins and river stones

Texture is what lets a photograph be felt as well as seen. This foundation course teaches you to find, light, and frame texture in the natural world — reading the surface of bark, stone, water, and leaf, and using light, shadow, contrast, and pattern to turn a living detail into a photograph that draws the viewer in.
