Shadow Sweep on a Mesa

Cinematic studio tabletop photograph, landscape 4:3. One hand-sculpted miniature mesa made from mineral-tinted plaster, with a broad flat summit, steep irregular cliffs and restrained horizontal sediment layers. Close low three-quarter viewpoint, the mesa occupying the left two-thirds, empty space at right. Matte terracotta and burnt-orange surfaces sit on a seamless dusty clay ground against a softly blurred deep petrol-blue backdrop. A moving studio gobo casts three broad diagonal shadow bands across the summit and down the cliffs, frozen sharply in a single exposure; the bands bend naturally over the relief. Warm directional light reveals the landform, with subtle cool fill preserving detail in shadow. 85mm close-focus lens, selective depth of field, summit edge and front cliff crisp. Tactile, polished miniature landscape, no visible model base, no props or people. No text, logos or watermarks.
