Hyperrealistic narrative editorial photograph, square 1:1, museum object-study treatment. One unbranded pale-grey flatbed scanner sits diagonally on a clean matte conservation table, its lid raised. A single ochre pressed ginkgo leaf lies flat on the glass. Beneath it, the scanner's narrow white illuminated carriage is captured halfway through its pass, making the act of scanning unmistakable. A tiny amber status light glows softly. Elevated three-quarter view, 50mm lens, enough depth of field to resolve the scanner and leaf without macro emphasis. Cool blue-hour window light falls from the left, contrasting with the neutral scan light. Accurate glass reflections, gently worn housing, controlled highlights, restrained colour grading. Leave quiet tabletop space around the machine; background falls softly out of focus. No people, text, logos or watermarks. No CGI appearance.
