Patterns are not hard to come across. If you look around for them – in your house, out on the street, or in nature – you’re likely to spot patterns just about everywhere without a lot of effort.

In photography, a pattern is created when a visual element repeats in a scene predominantly in terms of shapes and colors. This repetition can help you create a rather spellbinding image that may sometimes even extend into the realm of abstractness.

This post is a collection of images of patterns that will show you how they can be used as a strong composition tool. Let the photographs serve as an inspiration for you to create your own pattern images.
