Crystal glass sculpture in the sky
Act as a high-end product photographer and CGI artist. PHASE 1: SUBJECT A massive, perfectly centred sculpture of [OBJECT], suspended in mid-air. Its proportions and details are exact and recognizable, as if a real object were cast in glass at monumental scale. PHASE 2: MATERIAL The whole sculpture is solid optical crystal glass: colorless, heavy and monolithic, with a high refractive index. Tiny realistic imperfections keep it from looking like CGI plastic: fine polished scratches, a few seed bubbles inside, fire-polished bevelled edges. PHASE 3: ENVIRONMENT A clean, bright [SKY] with a few soft white cumulus clouds. No land, no buildings, nothing else in the frame. The sky refracts through the glass, and the sunlight passing through it throws sharp, complex caustics inside the form. PHASE 4: TECH Medium-format camera, 120mm lens, f/5.6 so the whole sculpture is sharp, hard direct sunlight to maximise the caustics, ray-traced refractions, subtle chromatic aberration, fine film grain. Vertical 3:4.
