The Words Left Behind
An unlettered cream keyboard shows polished wear on frequently used keys and its spacebar, beside a broad geometric studio shadow.

Hyperrealistic high-concept editorial product still life, 16:9 landscape. One well-used mechanical keyboard with completely blank warm-cream keycaps rests diagonally in the lower-left half of a pale blue-grey studio tabletop. Three-quarter overhead view, 85mm lens, enough depth of field to resolve the key surfaces. Several home-row keys have subtle fingertip-shaped polished patches; the spacebar has a smooth, slightly worn central sheen. These believable differences between matte and polished plastic are the focal detail, evidence of years of typing rather than damage. Low raking soft light reveals the wear, with cool ambient fill and a faint warm bounce. An off-camera rectangular flag casts one broad, straight-edged shadow across the empty right side, optically consistent with the light source. Refined exposure, controlled reflections, restrained colour grading, generous breathing room. No hands, no extra props, no CGI appearance. No text, logos or watermarks.
