52 Clicks | Week 6 | Black & White: Textures

Features

Feb 17

We continued with our month of black and white themes in our Project 52 last week, focusing this time on textures. Textures become so important when removing color in your images because it adds visual interest, whether it's providing a tactile element with the sense of touch, depth by differentiating various items within the frame or simply adding intrigue. I encourage you to go on a hunt for textures the next time you're exploring black and white photography.

One of our many discussions this past week centered around ruts and how some of us can count on them like clockwork to show up at the same times every year. For me, I always find myself lacking inspiration in the winter months. I credit these kinds of projects to help me move through them instead of simply putting the camera away until it passes. Looking through the p52 participants' images you'll never be able to pinpoint who among us is also struggling with inspiration. They're all so incredible. See for yourself! And if you find yourself in a similar position lacking inspiration, feel free to jump into our project to get you picking up your camera regularly. Click here to join!
