# New Objectivity Photography carries the structure. New Topographics 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 Objectivity Photography (Style, 1920s–1930s) and its accent from New Topographics (Style, 1975–). Structural cues: Sharp focus; Frontality; Repetition and types; Material detail. Accent cues, used sparingly: Empty suburbs; Frontality; Dry color; Man-altered landscape. Composition: Frontal, level, centered, with the same background every time. Type and lettering: No headlines, only the subject name and conditions in one fixed format. Let one material quality come from the second style: Even overcast light, deep focus, processing that never lifts saturation.. Mood: Trust, Technology, Calm, Rebellion. Color: build on #e5e2da, #81817d, #242423 with a single accent drawn from #d8d4c8, #8b897b, #4c4a44. 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
# - 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.
# - New Topographics: Posing as neutral while choosing light and framing too carefully produces scenic photography in documentary clothes, and the change goes unread.
