Texture is one of those multi-sensory things that we can feel with our sense of touch and “feel” visually with our eyes. Because texture transcends the senses, we must account for it when we create photographs. Sometimes the goal is to accentuate a specific texture. Sometimes we wish to “smooth” the texture visually. How you light your subject has a lot to do with how you reveal, or hide, texture.

As I wrote in this article, texture is one of the seven basic elements of photographic art. We are surrounded by texture and many nature and urban landscape photographers explore texture in images. While it is an element in almost every photograph, one could argue that texture, and controlling visual texture, takes a more prominent role in portraiture and still life/commercial product photography.
