A charcoal candle burns still on walnut, one ribbon of smoke rising.

Studio home fragrance hero shot for an invented candle brand. A lit candle in a heavy matte charcoal ceramic vessel stands centred on a dark walnut block, generous dark space on both sides. The flame burns tall and still, a pool of clear molten wax glistening around the wick. Above it a single ribbon of smoke rises and curls into a slow spiral, lit by a deep blue gel from behind so it glows against the black background, while the flame casts a warm amber pool of light onto the walnut grain and a long soft shadow behind. Thin haze in the air. Real texture: the speckled glaze of the ceramic, the walnut grain, the wax surface. The vessel has one small debossed label area. The only text anywhere in the image is the word "CINDRA" debossed once in small capitals on the vessel. No other text, numbers, logos or symbols.
