Photorealistic close-up food photography of a fresh caprese salad served on a matte pale gray ceramic plate on a whitewashed wooden table. Compose a small vertical stack of thick white mozzarella slices and ripe red tomato rounds slightly right of center, topped with rustic green basil pesto and glossy golden olive oil dripping onto the plate. Add several fresh basil leaves scattered in the foreground and a pair of toasted herb bread slices resting softly out of focus on the left. Use cool natural window light from the upper left, gentle shadows, calm airy mood, palette of soft whites, muted gray, tomato red, basil green, and warm toast gold. Shot on a 50mm macro lens, f/2.8, shallow depth of field, crisp texture on the salad, creamy bokeh background.
