AI Image Prompt

An inviting intimate still-life photograph of a cozy bed reading scene at midnight. An open hardcover book rests on crumpled warm cream duvet sheets, alongside a ceramic mug of steaming hot chocolate with melting marshmallows, a pair of tortoiseshell reading glasses, and a vintage brass bookmark. In the background, soft fairy lights twinkle out of focus, and a rain-streaked window reflects faint city lights outside. Lighting is ultra-warm and intimate, provided by a single warm glowing bedside lamp casting soft amber light across the woven blanket textures and page text, leaving peripheral corners in cozy shadows. Captured from a high 45-degree angle top-down view, with crisp detail on the open book pages and creased linen, and gentle bokeh falloff in the upper frame. Photographed on a 50mm f/1.8 prime lens, rich warm color temperature, high tactile texture detail, cozy lifestyle photography aesthetic.
