Hyperrealistic editorial food photograph of a whole Pavlova dessert centered on a dark matte ceramic plate. Crisp white meringue base with irregular soft peaks and fine cracks, thick layer of softly whipped cream, halved strawberries with visible seeds and natural moisture, scattered blueberries with bloom, fresh mint leaves with sharp veins. Strong side light rakes across the berries and mint, creating controlled specular highlights only on the fruit surfaces and cream ridges. Deep charcoal background, shallow depth of field, razor-sharp textures on meringue and fruit skins, natural ceramic plate with subtle glaze imperfections. Shot on medium format, 85 mm, f/2.8, no stylization, no plastic sheen.
