# Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work.

Structural cues: Sharp focus; Frontality; Repetition and types; Material detail. Accent cues, used sparingly: Public space; The decisive moment; Chance arrangement; Everyday figures. 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: Light gear, fast film speed, focus distance decided before raising the camera. Mood: Trust, Technology, Calm, Intimacy, Rebellion, Exhilaration. Color: build on #e5e2da, #81817d, #242423 with a single accent drawn from #ddd9cf, #8a5c45, #252422. 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
# - New Objectivity Photography and Street Photography share no intent, so the contrast has to become the subject rather than something to smooth over.

# 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.
# - Street Photography: Hunting for unusual looking people turns the work into spectacle and leaves the photographer's gaze rather than the city's relations. Weigh the ethics, the place and your distance from the subject.
