Mirror and Comb, Half in Shadow
An ivory oval hand mirror lies beneath an amber wide-tooth comb on a grey tabletop, with strong side lighting dividing the pair.

Studio photograph with quiet documentary restraint, 3:2 landscape. An unbranded ivory oval hand mirror lies face-up on a matte warm-grey tabletop, its handle pointing toward the lower left. One translucent amber wide-tooth comb rests diagonally across the handle, leaving most of the mirror visible. Show both objects completely, photographed from directly overhead with a 50mm lens. A small studio light positioned low at camera left creates split lighting: a clear boundary crosses the arrangement, with one half illuminated and the other in deep but readable shadow. The mirror reflects only a plain grey studio surface, not a face or camera. Natural ivory and amber colours, realistic plastic edges, restrained highlights, sufficient depth of field. Generous empty tabletop to the right. No ornamental props, artificial ageing, added grain or HDR. No people, no text, no logos or watermarks.
