Messy Desk with Holiday Warmth

Messy Desk with Holiday Warmth

Capture a cozy, artistic portrait-format scene of a messy wooden desk bathed in warm amber light from a nearby Christmas tree, intended to evoke holiday comfort and creative focus; present this as a high-detail digital photograph with a shallow depth of field and gentle film-like grain. Place the desk across the lower two-thirds of a 9:16 vertical frame, viewed from a slight top-down angle (about 20°) so items read clearly while the tree bokeh sits in the upper left background. On the desk: two well-worn spiral and hardcover notebooks stacked slightly askew, loose pages and handwritten notes scattered around, a handful of pens and a pencil partially overlapping paper edges, a small leather-bound sketchbook with visible pencil marks, and a ceramic mug with visible steam and a warm amber highlight on its rim. Emphasize textures—matte paper fibers, soft leather grain, warm polished wood—with soft shadows stretching away from the tree light. The Christmas tree is out of focus, producing round amber and green bokeh lights that spill warm highlights (#FFB85C, #2E6B3A) across the clutter; include subtle cool fill from the room to keep contrast natural. Leave a narrow vertical strip of gentle negative space near the top right for possible copy; keep overall tones warm, cozy, slightly desaturated, with deeper browns and charcoal in the foreground for balance. Ensure the composition feels lived-in and inviting, with a calm, intimate energy and clear focal points on the steaming mug and stacked notebooks.
