# New Topographics carries the structure. Typology Photography appear as accents, each further back than the last.
# Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work.

Structural cues: Empty suburbs; Frontality; Dry color; Man-altered landscape. Accent cues, used sparingly: Grid presentation; Even overcast light; Strict frontality; Typification through repetition. Composition: Hold the horizon near the middle and shoot subjects square on at equal distance.. Type and lettering: Captions carry place and date only, in one fixed form, with no comment.. Let one material quality come from the second style: Frontal shooting under flat overcast light, focal length and height fixed. Mood: Calm, Rebellion, Trust, Technology. Color: build on #d8d4c8, #8b897b, #4c4a44 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
# - New Topographics: Posing as neutral while choosing light and framing too carefully produces scenic photography in documentary clothes, and the change goes unread.
# - Typology Photography: Hanging pictures made under different light and angles turns those differences into the subject, and the variation between objects disappears.
