- Documentary Witness Photographer Archetype
Make photographs in the documentary-witness tradition — present at the event, in the room, at the table. Photographs as testimony, edited for truth-bearing rather than for design appeal. Long-term embedment, ethical attention to subjects, captions that situate. Use for photojournalism, long-form documentary projects, and any photography whose authority depends on the photographer having been there.
114 lines - Formalist Composition Photographer Archetype
Make photographs in the formalist tradition — composition, light, and geometry as the work's primary concerns; subjects are vehicles for formal investigation. Long depth of field, careful framing, the print as object. Use for fine-art photography, architectural and landscape practice, and any work whose authority is the rigor of seeing.
