Away to me

Documentary photograph, 85mm lens, from just behind a farmer's shoulder, sideways rain. A steep hillside in Snowdonia, Wales: wet rust-coloured bracken, dry-stone walls, low cloud rolling over slate ridges. A Welsh hill farmer, 68, ruddy weathered face, white stubble, rain dripping from his tweed flat cap, a torn waxed jacket, a hazel crook, whistles with two fingers in his mouth. Ahead in the grass a black-and-white border collie crouches low, eyes locked on a tight bunch of twenty wet Welsh Mountain sheep further up the slope. Palette: bracken rust, slate grey, wet green, off-white fleece. Real rain streaks, mud, wet fur. No readable text, no logos.

Riad

Architectural interior photograph, 24mm lens at chest height, late morning. A restored riad in the Marrakech medina seen through a tall carved cedar doorway: an open courtyard with green-and-white zellige tiles, a tiled fountain in the centre, a small orange tree with fruit, carved stucco arches, terracotta pots, a sharp shaft of sunlight falling from the open roof onto the water. Beside the fountain a housekeeper, 55, Amazigh, in an indigo kaftan and headscarf, henna on her hands, scatters pink rose petals onto the water. Palette: zellige green and white, terracotta, orange-tree green, rose pink. Dust in the light shaft, worn tiles, ripples. No readable text, no logos.

Margherita

Food documentary photograph, 35mm lens from the counter side. The wood-fired dome oven of a century-old pizzeria in the Quartieri Spagnoli, Naples, its mouth glowing with fire, blue-and-yellow majolica tiles around it, flour hanging in the air. A Neapolitan pizzaiolo, 70, broad and heavy with huge hairy forearms, a white cotton cap and T-shirt dusted with flour, a small gold horn charm on a chain, slides a long wooden peel with a fresh margherita toward the flames, his face lit orange, squinting at the heat. Palette: fire orange, flour white, tomato red, majolica blue. Sweat, flour on skin, a charred peel. No readable text, no logos.

The tailor

A frame from a handmade stop-motion animated film: felt, wood and wire puppets on a miniature set, visible fingerprints in the felt, tiny imperfect stitching, the shallow depth of field of a macro lens. A cramped tailor's shop in Old Havana built in miniature: faded teal walls, bolts of fabric on shelves, an old black sewing machine, a ceiling fan, warm light from a tiny lamp, a window with a blurred vintage car outside. An old Cuban tailor puppet with a felt face, a white wire-wool moustache, half-moon glasses on a chain, rolled shirt sleeves and a yellow tape measure around his neck holds up a red jacket and inspects a seam. Palette: teal, ochre felt, fabric red, warm lamp light. No readable text, no logos.

Aish

Street documentary photograph from a moving car, 35mm lens, morning haze. A chaotic street in Sayeda Zeinab, Cairo: white-and-blue minibuses, a donkey cart, old minarets in the dusty distance. A 17-year-old Egyptian bread delivery boy, skinny, a faded red T-shirt and flip-flops, rides a rusty black bicycle one-handed through the traffic while balancing on his head a huge wooden tray stacked with dozens of round baladi loaves, his other hand steadying it, calm and focused. Palette: dust gold, bread brown, minibus white and blue, faded red. Motion blur on the traffic, sharp on him, real dust and grain. No readable text, no logos.

MIRRA, shot 2

Beauty close-up, 85mm, a hard key light and a saffron-yellow backdrop: the woman from the reference image, the same silver close-cropped hair, gold hoops and cobalt silk suit, in profile with her eyes closed. No readable text, no logos. Fragrance commercial look: colour-blocked studio sets in hot pink, cobalt and saffron, hard strobe with crisp shadows, macro precision, fine grain.

MIRRA, shot 4

Medium close shot, 50mm, a hot-pink backdrop: the woman from the first reference image in the cobalt silk suit raises the amber perfume bottle from the second reference image toward her wrist, a hard backlight behind her. No readable text, no logos. Fragrance commercial look: colour-blocked studio sets in hot pink, cobalt and saffron, hard strobe with crisp shadows, macro precision, fine grain.

Hot pot

Vertical documentary photograph at water level, 50mm lens, blue hour. An outdoor geothermal hot pot at a public swimming pool in Reykjavik during heavy snowfall: thick steam rising off the water, aqua tiles, a snowy railing and a street lamp coming on. An 84-year-old Icelandic woman, tiny and round, rosy cheeks, white hair escaping a floral rubber swimming cap, a red swimsuit, sits up to her shoulders in the hot water laughing with her eyes shut as snowflakes land on her face; behind her in the steam a bald man and a woman with a towel on her head chat. Palette: steam white, snow blue, red, aqua. Real skin, condensation, snowflakes in focus. No readable text, no logos.

KOLO, shot 2

Vertical close-up from a phone camera, a dorm desk under a desk lamp: two hands with short unpainted nails and a hospital wristband hold the terracotta espresso maker from the reference image upright over a clear glass cup, a dark stream of espresso with golden crema pouring out. No readable text, no logos. Real phone-camera UGC look: front or back phone camera, natural light, slight wide-angle distortion, unpolished.
