"prompt": "Photorealistic intimate kitchen at evening, candlelit warmth and soft ambient glow. A couple of lovers share quiet complicity: he finely chops fresh basil and parsley on a wooden board while she tastes a simmering tomato-basil sauce with a spoon, their fingertips brushing lightly as they work side by side. Composition follows golden ratio and rule of thirds for perfect balance; subject pair placed slightly off-center with leading lines from countertop edges, cabinet seams, and window mullions guiding the eye; foreground ingredients—ripe tomatoes, garlic cloves, olive oil bottle—add depth without clutter. Illumination uses candle clusters and a shaded pendant: key, fill, rim at a 4:1:2 ratio; warm candlelight flickers across hands, steam, and glass, with soft bounce from light-tan walls; subtle volumetric haze reveals aromatic steam. Exposure balanced for low-light romance, protecting flame highlights and glass reflections while preserving rich midtones on skin and wood; gentle highlight rolloff across glossy sauce. Captured with Sony A1 II at 50mm (Canon RF 28-70mm f/2 L equivalent framing), aperture f/2.8, shutter 1/200s, ISO 400 on full-frame; Manfrotto tripod for stability; slight polarizer to tame reflections on bottles and tiles. Perspective is eye-level, intimate distance; shallow depth isolates their hands, spoon, and cutting motion while background shelves blur into cozy softness. Color palette: warm ambers and terracotta reds, deep basil greens, walnut wood, soft cream cabinetry; high dynamic range within candlelit limits. Focus strategy: razor-sharp on fingertips touching, spoon at lips, knife edge and herb texture; steam trails rendered with specular micro highlights for appetizing glow. Post-processing: ACES tone mapping, HDR compression for flame and glass; Kodak Portra 400 warmth; subtle grain stronger in shadows for analog feel;
