Proof of life

Proof of life

We’re very sorry we’ve been so quiet here of late, life has a way of getting in the way of photography and texturing. Flypaper is however very much alive and well and we are in fact working on a lovely new pack right now so watch this space!

Blossom Magic

Blossom Magic

We hope you’re all having fun conjuring up some magical images with our new Alchemy textures! I’ve discovered they work particularly well as backgrounds, they’re great to use in still lifes for example, they’re also good and adding interest to skies. So I thought I’d try them out on this recent cherry blossom photo.

Golden Pears

We hope you’re enjoying the new Impressionist Painterly pack as much as we are!
I thought I’d share how I processed these pears with the new textures. I’m sure you’ll agree that the beginning image was very flat so I decided to add a couple of Impressionist textures and voila….it’s turned an ordinary pear photo into something special.

Impressionist Painterly Launch

Impressionist Painterly Launch

Welcome to our lockdown created Impressionist Painterly Texture pack! We created these real-life oil painted textures over several months, shooting them in natural daylight or ‘en plein air’ to get the most out of this oil paint effect. The impressionists also worked during the evenings for ‘effets de soir’ producing richly shadowed, moody effects using visible spontaneous brushstrokes to convey an atmospheric impression of changing natural daylight.
