The setup

01Light
Soft daylight from a window, low and slightly directional so creases and curl read. Document-like, never glossy. Keep the whites warm and let faded areas stay faded.
02Wardrobe
When people appear: plain knitwear, coats and denim, nothing branded. Hands matter more than faces.

Director's note

Treat every receipt as evidence of a moment. Use real thermal prints, photographed flat with their creases, curl and fading intact, and let the dithered image be the emotional centre. Keep the text personal and quiet: a date, a place, a line that means something. No real store names or logos, no joke totals and no crisp receipt templates rendered on a screen.

About this brief

How do I photograph the Receipt Prints aesthetic?

Photograph the receipt as an object somebody kept: flat, creased and lit like a document.

Treat every receipt as evidence of a moment. Use real thermal prints, photographed flat with their creases, curl and fading intact, and let the dithered image be the emotional centre. Keep the text personal and quiet: a date, a place, a line that means something. No real store names or logos, no joke totals and no crisp receipt templates rendered on a screen.
