# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=lomography+snapshot-aesthetic
# Lomography carries the structure. Snapshot Aesthetic 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 Lomography (Style, 1992–) and its accent from Snapshot Aesthetic (Style, 1888– / 1960s art adoption). Structural cues: Heavy vignetting; Cross-process color shifts; Multiple-exposure chance; Shooting from the hip. Accent cues, used sparingly: Tilted framing; Subjects cut by the frame; Direct flash; Album intimacy. Composition: Shoot from the hip and leave the cut off edges alone. Type and lettering: Handwritten dates and stickers over anything typeset. Let one material quality come from the second style: Direct flash with its hard shadow, color left uncorrected. Mood: Play, Nostalgia, Rebellion, Intimacy. 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 Photographic Genres, so the difference is small. Push the roles further apart than feels comfortable.
# - Roughly 104 years apart. Keep one of them recognisably period rather than letting both drift into the middle.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Lomography: The accidents get added afterwards as filters, so nothing is left but calculated chance in a picture where failure was never possible.
# - Snapshot Aesthetic: The harder amateurism is staged, the more it shows, and the absence of real time spent with the subject becomes the only thing visible.
