Q: What is a textured photograph?
A: This is the biggest question I hear at my shows! Simply put, they are photographs with textured images digitally layered over them.
Q: How do you create the textures?
A: The textures are created by taking photographs of textured objects, such as tree bark, rocks, cracked concrete, and the like. I then blend several of those images together so they are not identifiable. I follow up by removing unwanted or distracting elements before I feel each texture is ready to be used over a photograph.
Sometimes I will paint my own textured surfaces and photograph them as a starting point for a new texture.
Q: How many textures are on each image?
A: The majority of my work contains three to six textures.
