Contemporary magazine product still-life photograph, 4:5 portrait. On a plain warm-cream laminate worktop, a detached chrome pillar tap lies diagonally across a loosely folded rust-coloured cotton tea towel. Its top opening is visible; the unscrewed brass valve assembly and removed crosshead handle rest immediately beside it, with one fresh black rubber washer and a small unbranded adjustable spanner. Mechanically plausible parts from the same tap, grouped as one compact repair in progress, not a decorative flat lay. Shoot from a close, steep three-quarter angle; keep the tap as the clear focal point in the lower two-thirds. Direct on-camera flash produces crisp offset shadows and bright, controlled metal reflections. Natural chrome, brass, cream and rust colours; ordinary cotton weave and slight genuine wear, no manufactured grime. Studio-controlled photograph with the practical simplicity of a household work surface. Enough depth of field to keep the repair readable, uncluttered space above. No people, no text, no logos or watermarks.
