Patterns, curves, shapes and more are the building blocks upon which all structures originate. Whether it’s a repetitive hexagon formulated into a beehive or the foundational structure of a multi-story office building, they’re found everywhere. Factors that determine the success of the capture start with lens choice and subject. These evolve into reading the light, color and contrast. Shooting angle and composition are the final ingredients that determine if the end product is museum-worthy. In this two-part series, I explore these factors of photographing shapes, lines, patterns and textures in nature.
