Funny how the techniques Kaminski was supposedly using to capture a 50s aesthetic happen to be recognizable in pretty much all of his other work and have no obvious basis in actual 50s cinematography. Sometimes the correct explanation is the obvious one.
Don't get me wrong, Kaminski is a manifestly skilled DOP, but his style is very distinct and he chose to bring it to Indiana Jones when it had no place there, and most insultingly after we'd been explicitly promised Slocombe's work would be honored. Kaminski's flourishes fit projects like Lincoln, War of the Worlds, Minority Report, etc. quite well, but this was the project to dial that stuff back on and he chose not to.
It was more the overall '50s look they were going for:
