While the Mint Steeps
A relaxed adult brother leans beside a kitchen window, with a glass mug of steeping mint tea on the sill and soft reflected light from the draining board.

Quiet documentary photograph, vertical 4:5, candid window-lit environmental portrait in a modest kitchen. One adult brother in a faded navy T-shirt leans sideways against the counter, shoulders loose, looking outside rather than at the camera. Frame from waist upward at a comfortable distance with a 50mm lens. On the narrow sill beside his resting forearm, a clear glass mug holds pale amber tea with several mint leaves visibly steeping; no pouring or demonstration. The backlit mug is the brightest small shape, anchoring the lower centre beneath his relaxed profile. Available daylight from the side window bounces off the stainless-steel draining board, gently lifting shadows beneath his jaw and illuminating the glass. Muted cream wall, natural green leaves, realistic skin and exposure. Keep person and mug within natural depth of field, background simple but recognisably domestic. No staged smile, artificial blur, added grain or HDR. No text, logos or watermarks.
