FIELD NOTES

Guides

Practical notes for taking a useful photo, reading a reference score, and exploring style without overreading a single image.

Take a photo the tool can read

A consistent photo is the first step toward a useful comparison.

Read the reference rules before deciding what a number means.

A reference ratio is useful only when its measurement is defined.

Left-to-right balance is one photo measurement, with several sources of variation.

Use measurements as prompts for experimentation, while keeping your own preferences central.
