restaurant kitchen chef cooking
Prompt
Photorealistic documentary-style image of a busy restaurant kitchen during service, centered on a chef in a plain white uniform and paper cap, face naturally obscured by drifting steam and hat shadow, holding a metal strainer and pot lid while cooking behind a narrow counter. Blurred diners and staff silhouettes frame the foreground, with a cup of wooden chopsticks, stainless steel shelves, hanging utensils, and soft vapor filling the cramped workspace. Warm overhead kitchen light mixes with creamy steam highlights, creating an intimate, hardworking business atmosphere. Color palette of warm amber, soft cream, brushed steel gray, and muted black. Vertical layers of foreground blur and sharp midground chef, shot on a 50mm lens at f/1.8 with shallow depth of field.
