A Potter Shapes a Jar on His Wheel

Prompt

Romans 9: "Hath not the potter power over the clay?" A potter sits large and central at his wheel in a sunlit workshop, his strong clay-covered hands shaping a tall, graceful vessel as the wheel turns, his face calm and intent. Finished jars and bowls stand drying on shelves behind him; warm afternoon light streams through the open doorway onto the wet clay. The potter wears a wrapped head-cloth over his hair. Style: a blend of photo-realism and cinema, like a still from a big-budget film. Bright, rich, saturated, luminous colour, clear daylight or glowing golden light even in dramatic scenes, never murky or muddy, crisp detail, real human faces full of emotion, shallow depth of field, subtle film grain. Simple, uncluttered composition: ONE clear scene from this chapter, with the chapter's main character or characters large, close and central in the upper and middle frame, and a simple background. No montage, no collage, no inset vignettes, no crowd of small figures competing for attention. Historically accurate ancient Near Eastern clothing, architecture and landscape. Keep the bottom quarter of the frame simple and uncluttered (ground, water or sky) so a large chapter number can be set over it. Absolutely no text, no letters, no words, no numbers, no logos, no watermark, no border, no frame.
