Enhancing your photos - READ CAREFULLY
1. Texture:
Textures are all around us and many of the best photographs in the world play up the textural element. Look for patterns in anything and everything. It might be a fence, cars in a parking lot, a textile, etc. The texture will become the subject of your photo. This assignment will teach you how to recognize and highlight those elements in your photos.

This assignment will teach you how to recognize and highlight those elements in your photos.
- Find a few objects that have very detailed textures like trees or rocks, even knit sweaters or woven rugs.
- Photograph them as close as your device will allow.
- Use different angles and capture the same texture as the light changes. Notice how the different lighting directions and camera angles can change how much texture appears.
2. Pattern:
Patterns are all around us, but we rarely think to photograph them. Patterns in photography create attention.
It’s elements of the scene that repeat themselves in a predictable way. Pattern can be found everywhere and is commonly seen within shapes, colours or textures. Using patterns is a great way to draw a viewer’s eye into your picture and generally, it will be the pattern within the photograph that will become the most prominent part of it.

3. Shadow:
Shadows are everywhere and they are vital to photography because this is the art of capturing light. With light comes shadows and when you begin to look at shadows as a photographer, your world will open up. Take some time to seriously explore the "dark side" of the light.

4. Emotions
The purpose of this assignment is to convey emotion in your photo without a face. You may think that you can’t capture emotion with inanimate objects, but you can certainly create mood and atmosphere with any kind of subject. There are many other things you could use for your subject other than people. Buildings, trees, fog, water, sunsets, landscapes, flowers and animals are all great subjects that will create some kind of emotional connection with the viewer. Challenge yourself to think deeper about this one.
