# Japanese Realism Photography carries the structure. Provoke 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 Japanese Realism Photography (Style, 1950–1958) and its accent from Provoke (Style, 1968–1970). Structural cues: The unstaged principle; Social subjects faced directly; Close wide-angle work; Coarse-grained prints. Accent cues, used sparingly: Rough grain (are); Blur and defocus affirmed; High-contrast black; Fragmentary framing. Composition: Move in wide and keep hands and feet inside the frame. Type and lettering: Headlines name the subject plainly, with no metaphor. Let one material quality come from the second style: Pushed grain and crushed black, tone thrown away in exposure and development. Mood: Trust, Rebellion, Intimacy, Exhilaration, Calm. Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 with a single accent drawn from #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615. 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
# - Japanese Realism Photography: The unstaged principle is proclaimed while the subject is pressed to stay as they are, and the relation between photographer and photographed goes unexamined.
# - Provoke: Adding blur and grain afterward as an effect leaves pictures that are merely rough, because nothing changed in how they were taken.
