Actions:
One hand applying thick cream from "Ode" jar (texture visible on fingers)
Fingers putting a product in leather bag
Hands grabbing long curly wig texture on table

Mood & Style
Editorial still life photography. Kinfolk aesthetic. Intimate tactile exploration. Texture highly visible in each element: fabric weave, cream peaks, body scrub granules, hair curl definition, leather grain, towel texture, brush bristles, skin surface variations. Lived-in contemplative mood. Humanity-centered composition.
