Texture in photography refers to the visual quality of a surface, which can be smooth, rough, bumpy, or any combination of these.

Texture can contribute to the overall composition of an image by creating a sense of depth and dimension, adding visual interest and variety, and helping to draw the viewer's attention to certain elements.

Texture can be created through lighting, camera angle, and composition. Lighting can highlight or obscure textures, camera angle can change the way textures are perceived, and composition can be used to emphasize or de-emphasize textures.

Microtexture refers to small, detailed textures that are often only visible up close, while macrotexture refers to large, broad textures that are visible from a distance.

Texture can be used to create a sense of movement in an image by using textures that suggest motion, create a sense of depth, or contrast with each other.

Sandpaper is an example of a rough texture because it has a lot of small, raised bumps that can be felt when touched.

Ice is an example of a smooth texture because it has a very flat and even surface that can be felt when touched.

Texture can be used to create a sense of depth in an image by using textures that suggest distance, create a sense of foreground and background, or contrast with each other.

Leather is an example of a bumpy texture because it has a lot of small, raised bumps that can be felt when touched.

Fur is an example of a soft texture because it is made up of many fine, delicate hairs that can be felt when touched.

Texture can be used to create a sense of mystery in an image by using textures that are unfamiliar or unexpected, create a sense of depth and dimension, or contrast with each other.

Metal is an example of a hard texture because it is very dense and does not easily deform when touched.

Texture can be used to create a sense of balance in an image by using textures that are evenly distributed throughout the image, contrast with each other, or create a sense of depth and dimension.

Glass is an example of a glossy texture because it has a very smooth and reflective surface that can be seen when light hits it.

Texture can be used to create a sense of unity in an image by using textures that are similar to each other.
