surface and patina – Textures & Materials of Urban Environments

Welcome to surfaces and patina

Surfaces and Patina is a curated collection of photographs showcasing the textures and materials of urban environments, organized into nine categories: Brick, Stone, Render, Concrete, Paint, Tiles, Marble, Wood, and Metal. Originally conceived as a reference library for art departments in the film and TV industry, most of the images were captured in London, documenting surfaces that have since been altered or lost due to redevelopment. All images are free to download, with a 500-download limit. For commercial use, please credit the source. Donations are welcome.
