SEAL Team Safety — photography direction

Story: leaders guiding others; employees collaborating. Always show a relationship between people.
Cast: a credible mix of roles, ages, backgrounds, and experience. Leaders listen as well as explain.
Setting: safe work or learning environments, appropriate protective equipment, practical activity.
Composition: preserve faces, hands, and the connection between subjects. Leave quiet space for text.
Avoid: staged hero poses, isolated equipment, military associations, or decorative people with no shared purpose.

NATURAL EDITORIAL — default
Natural skin tones, soft daylight, neutral color, gentle contrast. Use for people stories and training content.

NAVY OVERLAY — text-bearing heroes
Navy #171033 directional gradient, 96% at the copy edge, 82% at 30%, 16% at 75%.
Keep faces clear of the text. On mobile, place copy below the photo or darken the lower portion instead.
Check the actual text placement for legibility on each crop.

PURPLE DUOTONE — supporting campaign imagery
Grayscale image blended with luminosity at 90% over Purple #7F3C97.
Add a restrained navy multiply gradient. Retain readable expressions.
Use selectively; natural people photography remains the primary style.
