Orange Crate, Last Light

Editorial studio product photograph, 3:2 landscape. One empty safety-orange commercial fish crate, rectangular injection-moulded plastic with drainage slots, reinforced corners and integrated handles. Set it directly on a matte cool-grey work surface. Camera just above rim height, close three-quarter view: the near corner dominates the lower right, the open interior remains visible, and the long rim cuts diagonally across the frame. Leave uncluttered space at left. Muted amber light from a large low side source reproduces sunset softened by atmospheric smoke; gentle transitions, dim cool fill, no visible smoke or theatrical fog. A few residual water beads and ordinary handling scuffs, no manufactured grime. Plain grey studio wall behind, naturally falling into shade. 50mm lens, sufficient depth of field to retain the crate's structure, realistic exposure and restrained colour. No fish, props or people. No text, logos or watermarks.
