Hyperrealistic editorial artifact-catalog photograph, square 1:1. A well-used iron skillet on a compact, unmarked electric hob atop a plain grey kitchen worktop. Photograph from a high three-quarter angle, showing the complete vessel and handle with generous surrounding space. Inside, one roughly rounded potato cake shallow-fries in a thin pool of oil; its upper surface remains above the oil, with small bubbles gathering along its pale-gold edges. The skillet is the clear focal point: seasoned dark iron, rubbed rim, old rivets, a handle polished by years of use. Warm practical-lamp light from the left, softly filled shadows, controlled oil reflections, realistic neutral colour. Catalog-like clarity with believable depth, 70mm lens, enough depth of field to keep the vessel and food sharp. No hands, props, dramatic smoke or theatrical scenery. No text, logos or watermarks.
