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 dappled garden light a white woman in her early forties with a fuller soft build, light freckled skin, warm grey eyes and a chin-length auburn bob with a side part sits in a folding garden chair with a paperback open in her lap between chores, a pair of gardening gloves dropped at the chair leg and a trowel stuck in a flowerbed beside her, seen from the side at eye level and framed full length. Her hands hold the open book, Each hand has five digits. The reader wears a navy coat over a mustard jumper and carries a canvas tote bag. No readable words, numbers, logos or brand marks appear; the paperback has a plain blank cover and spine and its pages are never legible, and every sign, screen and label is blank or plain colour.
