# New Vision Photography carries the structure. Photogram 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 Vision Photography (Style, 1920s–1930s) and its accent from Photogram (Technique, 1830s– / avant-garde revival). Structural cues: Steep angles; Close-up; Hard light and shadow; Abstraction. Accent cues, used sparingly: Cameraless; Object contours; Reversed values; Contact and distance. Composition: Shoot from straight above or below and run the subject along a diagonal. Type and lettering: Align added lettering to the picture diagonal, off the horizontal. Let one material quality come from the second style: Photo paper, lamp height, exposure time, distance controlling edge hardness. Mood: Technology, Futurism, Exhilaration, Calm, Play. Color: build on #e5e3dc, #8b8f92, #151719 with a single accent drawn from #f0eee5, #73777a, #111315. 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 90 years apart. Keep one of them recognisably period rather than letting both drift into the middle.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - New Vision Photography: If the angle changes but reveals nothing about the subject, the picture becomes a shape nobody can name and the surprise is spent at first glance.
# - Photogram: This is not black and white abstraction in general. Merely arranging unusual objects records only shadows, while transparency and distance from the sensitized surface are what make the image.
