Texture

Texture is that quality that makes an image seem like it could be experienced through touch, or taste, or sound, or smell.

Texture exists in the surface details of your subject. It is that quality that makes an otherwise two-dimensional object seem like it could be experienced through senses other than sight…can feel smooth,rough, cold, hot, damp, slick, soft, sharp, or grainy…can sense the smell of a flower, the salt air…can taste the flavor of food…can hear the sound of the breeze , the roar of a lion, etc…

No foundation of photographic art is more capable of moving your deep emotions than texture. This makes your audience more connected to your image
