Dear reader, if this entry or my other blog entries don't answer your specific photography questions, you can call me on the phone anytime for advice by clicking here.One of my great joys when photographing people is placing them in front of textured backgrounds. I do this in the studio quite often, but more interestingly, outside in villages, towns, and cities.
This photo was taken in a small village in the south of Hungary. Because many of the houses are built with plaster, and are painted with wonderful pastel hues, there are always great locations available for portrait sessions.
When planning a photo shoot that has a textured background, look for the following qualities:
1. The texture should be rough, but somewhat uniform, and consistent.
2. Different paint colors will have different emotive characteristics.
3. Aged and worn backgrounds usually have more soul.
4. Direct sun will show more texture, but makes portraits more difficult.
5. instead of using a low f-number, try using a tripod and a higher f-number for greater background and foreground sharpness.
