Film still from an independent drama, Kodak 5219 grain. 4 a.m. in a 24-hour diner on Roosevelt Avenue in Jackson Heights, Queens; rain streaks the big front window and the steel of the elevated train blurs outside under pink neon. In a cracked red vinyl booth sits a heavy-set Puerto Rican man in his early seventies, white stubble, deep creases, a faded navy flannel shirt buttoned to the top, a plain navy cap, both hands around a chipped white coffee mug, looking up with hurt and suspicion. Standing at the end of the table, just arrived, is his younger brother in his sixties, thin and stooped, grey moustache, a soaked tan raincoat dripping, eyes lowered. Light: cold overhead fluorescent and warm pink neon spill through the window, a mint-green tiled wall, a glowing pie case behind. Over-the-shoulder two-shot from the counter side, 50mm, f/2.8. Palette: booth red, mint green, neon pink. Real faces: liver spots, pores, wet hair. No readable text.

Film still, 50mm lens from the porch steps, dusk. The sagging wooden porch of a shotgun house in Clarksdale, Mississippi, a bare amber bulb overhead with moths, dusk-blue cotton fields and a water tower beyond. A Black bluesman, 78, very thin, white stubble, a sweat-stained straw fedora, a short-sleeved plaid shirt, sits in a cane chair with a battered steel resonator guitar on his knee, a glass bottleneck slide on his little finger, eyes closed, head tilted back, mid-song. A tin can on the boards beside his boot. Palette: bulb amber, dusk blue, rusted steel. Real skin, worn wood, moths in the light. No readable text, no logos.

A frame from a hand-drawn Japanese animated feature film with a 1990s cel animation look: hand-inked line art, flat cel shading on the characters, a lush painted gouache background. Dawn on the flat rooftop of a small three-storey apartment building in an old Osaka neighbourhood, a tangle of power lines, water tanks and a view over tiled roofs. A small 72-year-old grandmother with a bent back, grey hair in a bun, a faded indigo apron over a mustard cardigan, pins a big white bedsheet onto a laundry line with wooden pegs, the sheet billowing in the wind. Her gangly teenage grandson in a black high-collared school jacket sleeps slumped in a plastic folding chair beside her, mouth open, a milk carton in his hand. Crows on the power lines. A peach and powder-blue sky with a pale moon. Palette: peach, powder blue, indigo, mustard. Gentle slice-of-life mood. No text.

Vertical candid street photograph, 35mm lens, windy afternoon with bright overcast light. Brighton Palace Pier, England: white railings, a grey-green choppy sea, strings of bulbs and a helter-skelter blurred behind. A 74-year-old Englishman, tall and stooped, thin white hair whipped by the wind, a navy blazer with brass buttons and a striped tie, holds a paper cone of fat chips and lifts one chip toward his open mouth, eyes half shut in anticipation. Just behind his shoulder a large herring gull swoops in low, wings spread, beak open, eyeing the chip. Palette: navy, chip gold, gull white, sea grey-green. Real wind, salt spray, grain.

Vertical photograph at windowsill level, 50mm lens, late afternoon sun. An old apartment in Kadıköy, Istanbul: a wide marble windowsill, faded turquoise wooden shutters open, the Bosphorus and a ferry hazy in the distance. A large grey tabby street cat with a torn left ear and a scarred nose sits on the sill staring deadpan straight into the lens, one front paw resting against a full tulip-shaped glass of dark red tea on a small saucer near the edge, a sugar cube beside it. At the edge of frame an older man's hand in a brown cardigan cuff with a gold wedding ring reaches toward the glass. Palette: tea amber, tabby grey, turquoise. Real fur, dust in the sunbeam, steam from the tea. No readable text, no logos.

Car commercial frame, wide 24mm lens from just above a polished concrete floor. A vast seamless pastel-pink cyclorama studio stage lit by huge soft overhead panels. An invented boxy 1980s two-door rear-wheel-drive coupe in pale mint green with black steel wheels slides sideways mid-drift across the frame, front wheels on full opposite lock, rear tyres pouring thick white smoke that billows up and fills half the stage; black rubber marks curve across the floor; a driver in a white helmet is barely visible through the side window. Palette: bubblegum pink, mint, white smoke. Crisp commercial light, real smoke texture, slight motion blur on the wheels. No badges, no number plate. No readable text, no logos.
