# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=f64+new-objectivity-photography
# Group f/64 carries the structure. New Objectivity Photography appear as accents, each further back than the last.
# Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work.

An original image that takes its structure from Group f/64 (Style, 1932–1935) and its accent from New Objectivity Photography (Style, 1920s–1930s). Structural cues: All-over deep focus; Large-format precision; A rich grayscale; Directness refusing manipulation. Accent cues, used sparingly: Sharp focus; Frontality; Repetition and types; Material detail. Composition: Fill the frame with the object and drop the ground to plain. Type and lettering: Titles name the object and the place, nothing poetic. Let one material quality come from the second style: Deep depth of field, even overcast light, fine grained printing. Mood: Trust, Calm, Technology. Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 with a single accent drawn from #e5e2da, #81817d, #242423. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Where the two fight
# - Both belong to Photography Movements, so the difference is small. Push the roles further apart than feels comfortable.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Group f/64: Sharpness everywhere becomes the goal in itself, and the picture fills with detail without ever deciding which form the viewer is meant to see.
# - New Objectivity Photography: One frame is no typology, and without matched conditions it ends as a pile of expressionless pictures. Do not trust the pose of objectivity, and read the bias that classification and viewpoint produce.
