I Heart Faces: Texture
It's Monday, so it must be time once again for an "I Heart Faces" entry! This week's theme was "Texture". I have to admit that I groaned a little inside when I saw that. Because I know what "texture" means in this day and age of digital photography. Its the texture you digitally add to your photos using actions and presets in Photoshop. And because I'm still waiting for some nice person to volunteer to come over to my house to even show me what a damn layer even is, there is no way I'm entering a photo with the kind of texture they are talking about.
So, I thought about other ways I could bring real texture into my portrait. That's why I chose that particular background. And if you are wondering why Jayce is 99% of the time my subject of my I Heart Faces challenges, well... its because he's the only one around besides me on Monday Morning when I realize that I have yet to submit a photo :)
Don't forget to check out all the other hundreds of entries at I Heart Faces
Wow!! Wonderful natural texture :D I'm new to the texture thing, too, and only taught myself how a layer works (at a veeerrry basic level) over Xmas break ;D Still working on it, but it's fun!!

ReplyDeleteI love the angle of view. I think natural textures are the best. :) He's so sweet.
ReplyDeletethanks for your compliment on my photo. I hate SP's of me. It's the first time I ever did a texture and I wanted to see how it worked out. My Flickr group liked it, so I wanted to see if the real world would like it.
Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pic J!
ReplyDeleteHahaha, we have the same problem! I keep vowing that this year will be the year I learn Photoshop. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat picture --as usual! My entry used 'natural' texture, too, because I couldn't figure out how to add layers.
I so love your pics!
