Hyperrealistic candid editorial character photograph, landscape 8:3. One middle-aged woman sits on a plain armless exercise chair, right of centre, performing a low-impact resistance-band row. A single flat teal band loops securely beneath both trainer-clad midfeet; she grips its two ends, elbows drawn beside her ribs, wrists straight, spine upright. Capture the controlled pull with a concentrated expression, slightly parted lips and believable muscle tension. Three-quarter view at seated eye level, entire seated figure and feet visible, 70mm lens. Unbranded slate workout clothing, natural skin pores, flyaway hair, anatomically accurate hands. Empty charcoal studio, matte seamless floor. One controlled side spotlight illuminates her face, forearms and the taut band, casting a grounded chair shadow; subtle fill retains skin detail. Camera positioned in the darker side of the room, looking toward the light. Generous uncluttered negative space on the left. Restrained colour grading, realistic fabric and rubber, no theatrical haze. No text, logos or watermarks.
