A hyperrealistic horizontal photograph with a harsh direct flash that smooths out details and casts strong, sculptural shadows.
The camera perspective varies (frontal, diagonal, slightly low, or top-down), but always emphasizes immediacy and tension, often with a calm surreal undertone.
The subject is framed with dense cinematic precision, often tightly framed or centered for a graphic effect.
Surfaces — whether metal or petals — are rendered with intense texture and fine-grained clarity.
Tiny reflections of light create crisp mirror highlights, while small scratches, floating dust, and subtle grain add texture and editorial depth.
Subjects:
Color consistency note: cool daylight (around 6500K), pale blue sky #DDEAF6, lavender petals #9C86C8–#B49AD8, neutral green foliage #4F7A4F.
Avoid warm tint, amber haze, teal–orange grading, magenta/cyan shift, or any soft diffusion effect. Maintain medium contrast, sharp definition, no vignette or glow.
Negative constraints: no literal human faces, no portrait heads, no carved features. Keep the illusion subtle, naturally emerging from the folds of the petals, not sculpted or added.
