Prompt
A real photograph in the observational documentary genre, captured on 35mm film with a 35mm lens at f/5.6 for generous depth of field and open visible grain. A single soft overcast daylight key from high front falls evenly across surfaces with loose open shading gathering lightly under ledges and folds, finished in a plain desaturated grade with honest midtone contrast and unpolished texture.
Wide 16:9 frame. In even overhead light a stocky mechanic in his late forties with tanned skin, a round face, a short grey beard and a small oil smudge on one cheekbone lays out a row of small bicycle parts in order on the wooden bench, a bell, a brake cable, a pair of brake pads and a chain link in a neat line on a clean cloth, while a tall lean Black man in his early twenties with a coily twist-out with faded sides, a faint moustache and two silver hoop earrings in his left ear stands across the bench with his hands resting flat on the edge and looks at the row, seen from the side at eye level and framed from the waist up. Each hand has four fingers and a thumb, exactly five digits visible or anatomically accounted for on each hand. The experienced mechanic wears dark blue overalls and the newcomer wears a mustard apron over a plain grey t-shirt. No readable words, numbers, logos or brand marks appear on any tool board, tag, pad, card, shelf or bicycle; pads, tags, cards and labels are blank or simple pictograms. The workshop is a small bicycle repair workshop with a wooden bench, a pegboard tool wall with painted tool outlines, a metal parts shelf and a wooden counter.
