Create a photograph of a Thanksgiving dinner table set for eight people, seen from a slightly raised angle. On a long wooden table: a golden roast turkey as the centrepiece, bowls of mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, cranberry sauce, a pie and a basket of bread rolls. Cream linen runner, simple ceramic plates, amber glassware and a few small pumpkins and dried leaves between the dishes. Lighting: late-afternoon sun through a window on the left, warm and soft, with gentle shadows. Style: editorial food photography, natural colours, shallow depth of field on the centrepiece. Format: landscape 3:2. Avoid: people, hands, text, logos, plastic-looking food, cutlery floating in the air.
