# New Color Photography 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 New Color Photography (Style, 1976–) and its accent from Snapshot Aesthetic (Style, 1888– / 1960s art adoption). Structural cues: Nameless everyday scenes; Dye-transfer saturation; Casual oblique composition; The intensity of red. Accent cues, used sparingly: Tilted framing; Subjects cut by the frame; Direct flash; Album intimacy. Composition: Tilt off horizontal and push the subject toward an edge. Type and lettering: Captions carry only place and year, never explanation. Let one material quality come from the second style: Direct flash with its hard shadow, color left uncorrected. Mood: Intimacy, Calm, Rebellion, Nostalgia. 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
# - Roughly 88 years apart. Keep one of them recognisably period rather than letting both drift into the middle.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - New Color Photography: Raising saturation gets mistaken for the style, so the choice of subject goes unexamined and the pictures end up loud but with no reason to look.
# - 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.
