Recipe Ingredients

Scene: Moda seaside in Istanbul on a sunny day, where a young couple sits near the shore sharing simit with sea horizon, gentle waves, distant walkers, seagulls, railing, rocks, and believable street clutter.
Camera: 35mm lens equivalent, eye-level medium shot with imperfect candid framing, faces and eyes sharp, slight background motion blur only.
Composition: Slightly off-center portrait composition with the couple as the focal point, sharp faces, gently receding background, and no perfect symmetry.
