Intended use: full-bleed cover photograph for a luxury private event proposal, "winter evening by the fire". Scene: an elegant old Mediterranean villa salon at night in January, no people. A large carved stone fireplace with a real crackling fire is the brightest light source, lower third of the frame. Two deep velvet armchairs in dark bottle green angled toward the fire, a low marble side table with two crystal glasses of red wine and a few lit candles. Tall window on the side shows a dark blue winter night with a soft sparkle of cold light; fir branches and a few warm fairy lights on the mantel, subtle, not kitsch. Upper half of the frame is calm deep shadow — dark wood panelling and a large gilded-frame oil painting barely visible — leaving quiet empty space for a title. Camera: ARRI Alexa 35, Cooke S7/i 35mm at T2.0, eye level from the room's depth, shallow depth of field, focus on the fire and armchairs. Light hierarchy: fire brightest, warm amber spill on the floor, armchairs and glasses; candles secondary; window cool blue rim only; rest falls into rich near-black. Colour: deep navy, bottle green, amber and old gold, honest film grain, slight vignette, highlights on the flames gently clipping. Honest and unposed, real lived-in textures: worn rug, wax drips, soot on the fireplace stone. No people, no text, no watermark, no CGI plastic look, no HDR halos, no oversaturation, no Christmas-card kitsch.
