Under a dim red darkroom safelight, a sheet of photographic paper lies in a shallow tray of developer; a faint grey image is just beginning to rise out of the white, and a pair of bamboo tongs rests at the edge of the tray. Ripples on the chemical surface catch the red light. A still-life photograph of the act of making something, shot on a real camera with a fast prime lens. Shallow depth of field, one dominant light source, honest working mess — not a styled advertisement. The frame is filled edge to edge by the scene itself: not a poster, not a card, not a screenshot, not a mockup. No human faces in frame. If hands appear they are ordinary working hands with five normal fingers, correctly proportioned, and fully clothed forearms. The emerging image on the paper is an indistinct soft grey shape — no recognisable subject, no writing. No text, no letters, no numbers, no signage, no logo and no watermark anywhere in the image. Do NOT include any real company logo, real brand name or real trademark.
