Hyperrealistic candid editorial street photograph, portrait 1:2. One palm-sized prehistoric bifacial flint handaxe lies diagonally on a folded, faded grey cloth at the corner of a worn outdoor market table. Its pointed outline, broad percussion-flaked facets and weathered brown-grey patina are unmistakable. Frame from a slightly elevated oblique viewpoint with a 50mm lens; the tool occupies the lower third, while softly receding city paving and the base of a closed metal shutter establish the street setting above. Dusk, with subdued red and blue spill from off-frame gelled stall lamps grazing opposite edges of the stone; soft neutral ambient fill preserves its natural colour. Quiet, temporarily unattended, observational rather than studio-polished. Convincing stone weight, coarse cloth and scuffed tabletop, controlled highlights, moderate depth of field. No other merchandise, people, text, logos or watermarks.
