Hands Cradling Mug by Window

Hands cradle a steaming mug near a café window in a quiet morning mood. Wardrobe shows a neutral knit cuff with soft pilling texture, skin tones natural and inclusive with well-kept nails and gentle dryness detail, ceramic mug matte and chalky with a warm off-white glaze. Depth is layered with foreground steam tendrils, hands and mug in crisp focus, and a softly abstracted street scene beyond; DOF preserves hand contours and rim detail while keeping background legible but subdued. Light is soft and directional from the window, providing even wrap on knuckles and gentle speculars on glaze; grading warms slightly with cocoa and honey tones. Environment includes a linen napkin, a small notebook, and a pencil resting on a pale wood tabletop, leaving ample negative space. Camera uses a seated eye-level vantage with a short-tele field of view, three-quarter framing that centers the mug and leaves a clean side margin. Style is lifestyle editorial photography with modern minimalism and soft grain. Tags: autumn coffee, cozy hands, neutral knit, morning calm, lifestyle stock, warm tones, copy space.
