Cut Where It Says Fold

Hyperrealistic editorial documentary photograph of a paper-folding workshop, 3:2 landscape. Close oblique overhead view of one adult participant’s hands at a scratched maple worktable. Worn steel scissors are halfway through cutting a muted blue paper square along a dashed diagonal crease guide. Immediately beside it, a small wordless instruction card clearly depicts the same square becoming a folded triangle, with a curved folding arrow; pictograms only, no letters or numbers. Capture the hesitant pause mid-cut, the paper still intact beyond the blades. The contrast between the folding diagram and the actual cut is the single visual idea. Crop out the participant’s face; no other people visible. Broad off-camera softbox light, restrained highlights on steel, realistic skin texture and paper fibres. 50mm lens, sufficient depth of field to resolve both the scissors and diagram. Leave quiet tabletop space at the right. Believable workshop reportage, not a product display. No text, logos or watermarks.
