Grainy Halftone Photo Effect

This effect combines a fine dot screen with heavy grain and crumpled paper creases, converting any photograph into something that looks printed on newsprint and left in a pocket. High contrast pushes the darks hard while keeping enough detail in the highlights to read as documentary photography — the register sits firmly in late-70s music press and underground zine territory.

Usage: music and band photography, editorial portrait series, album artwork, gig and event posters, zine and underground publication layouts, street photography edits, and noir campaign imagery
