Parent Wrapping Gifts, Intimate Nighttime Scene

A realistic vertical (9:16) scene showing a single parent quietly wrapping presents in secret, intended to feel intimate, warm and private; they lean over a partially wrapped gift on the floor, concentrating, with deliberate gentle movements. Photorealistic digital painting style with soft, natural details. The parent is mid-30s, mixed ethnicity, medium build, short wavy brown hair, wearing a slightly worn cream knit sweater and dark jeans; seated cross-legged on a wooden floor, leaning forward so hands and the gift are the focal point. Warm golden light from a small table lamp positioned at left-front casts soft directional illumination across the scene, creating long gentle shadows on the floor and a cozy pool of light around the parent; light temperature is warm, slightly amber (#D4A017, #F6EAD8) contrasted by deep cool shadows (#0B2033, #3B2F2F). Scattered naturally around them are rolls of matte wrapping paper (neutral kraft and muted green), a pair of blunt-tipped scissors, satin ribbons with subtle sheen, a small roll of clear tape, and a gift tag—textures clearly readable: slightly crinkled paper, satiny ribbon shine, smooth tape edge, scuffed wooden floor. In the background, high and slightly out of focus, a string of distant holiday lights creates small warm bokeh points that add depth without drawing attention; the room beyond the lamp falls into soft shadow to emphasize secrecy. Composition and crop: vertical 9:16 crop, mid-close framing from slightly above at a 25–35° angle—frame the parent from slightly above waist to top of head and down to knees, centering the partially wrapped gift in the lower center third so hands and tools occupy the foreground; leave the upper third as negative space with the soft bokeh lights for balance and possible copy area. Mood: hushed, tender, private; facial expression is focused with a small, quiet smile; body language protective and careful. Keep color palette warm and muted, with the gold lamp accent as the brightest element; retain soft edge transitions and subtle grain to evoke realism and tactile warmth.
