Premium Food Photography Template

Create a square {{aspect_ratio}} premium food photography image of a steaming {{food}} served in a dark black stone bowl or cast-iron skillet on a wooden board. The dish should look hot, glossy, spicy, and freshly served, with bite-sized pieces of browned protein, dried red chilies, green scallions, white onion, garlic, chili flakes, and visible Sichuan peppercorns coated in a deep red, oily Szechuan sauce. Use a slightly elevated close-up camera angle with shallow depth of field. Make the food the clear hero of the image, centered and richly detailed. Add visible steam rising naturally from the dish. Surround the bowl with subtle restaurant-style props like a dark red tray, scattered dried chilies, peppercorns, a small sauce bowl, or a blurred teapot in the background. Lighting should feel warm, moody, and editorial, like a high-end restaurant food shoot. Emphasize realistic textures and keep the image appetizing, realistic, cinematic, and polished. Avoid text, logos, hands, people, utensils covering the food, cartoon styling, fake plastic textures, excessive symmetry, or an overly clean stock-photo look.
