Contemporary editorial studio photograph, square 1:1. One intact grassland soil monolith from an ecological field study rests directly on a matte off-white sweep: an irregular block of native earth supporting mixed fine meadow grasses, green blades, dry straw stems and a few modest seed heads. Its exposed front face reveals the natural root mat and darker soil beneath. Photograph straight on at soil level with a 70mm lens, enough depth of field to keep the specimen clear. Leave generous breathing room around the uneven silhouette. White theatrical Fresnel light from upper left, broad white bounced fill and a brightly lit background create a high-key exposure with a short directional shadow. Natural greens, ochre and brown; irregular, unretouched material detail. No decorative props, containers or exaggerated root hairs. A real botanical specimen, not a floating landscape or miniature diorama. No people, text, logos or watermarks.
