Cameron Karsten—Inspirational Photography

For this assignment we were tasked with taking photos of things that inspire us, fitting into the theme of textures, patterns, or shapes.

These are the photos I took:

I was really surprised to see this fully pink bush near my house! I’ve never seen it bloomed before—literally every square inch and I was mesmerized by it!
I love capturing abundant flowers as patterns and textures
Not as lush as the other photos but I love the repeating flowers.
I’ve never seen flowers like these and this small before!
At the tulip festival I saw these little guys low to the ground.

Overall I think the photos that I took definitely fit under patterns, as nature tends to have many repetitive components show up again and again (especially if you are in a vast field of flowers, you can expect that). But even as organic as nature is, there is patterns and this blog post made me realize how much I love capturing repeating objects (especially in nature). I was looking back at old photos and noticed I had many pictures of flowers, succulents, cacti, etc. and when you look at them, they’re not just patterns but also textures! Though some photos are definitely more textured than others, I think all have an element of texture within.
