Riverbed Under Glass
An oblique studio photograph of river gravel beneath clear water in a shallow glass tray, softly lit by gray daylight.
Small 640×213, Medium 1200×400
Hyperrealistic contemporary magazine studio still life, ultra-wide 3:1. One shallow rectangular clear-glass tray containing a reconstructed river gravel bed beneath two centimeters of clear water. Naturally irregular rounded stones in slate gray, chalk, muted ochre and brown, mixed sizes, settled loosely rather than decoratively arranged. Photograph from an elevated oblique viewpoint; the tray occupies the right two-thirds, its long edge cutting diagonally across the frame. Show the near glass rim and believable waterline so this reads as a real staged object. Matte warm-gray studio surface, uncluttered negative space on the left. Soft monsoon-gray daylight through an off-camera window, restrained highlights, a faint rectangular window reflection on the water without obscuring the stones. Medium-format photographic clarity, 80mm lens, sufficient depth of field for the gravel and rim, realistic refraction and contact shadows. Refined specimen-like presentation, no CGI appearance. No people, no text, no logos or watermarks.
