Macro Photography of Cotton Jersey Fabric

Ultra-realistic extreme macro photograph of combed ring-spun cotton jersey, filling the entire frame, shot at a very low raking angle. The fabric is a heavyweight mid-weight tee in deep charcoal-black, folded once so a soft rounded fold runs diagonally across the frame with a clean side seam and its neat chain stitching visible along one edge, and a section of flat knit beside it. At this magnification the individual knit loops are clearly resolved in rows, the yarn smooth and uniform with no stray short fibers or fuzz, a few fine cotton filaments catching the light at the fold crest, and the ribbed hem just entering one corner. The fabric is completely blank, with no graphic, no lettering, no logo and no print of any kind anywhere in the frame. A single warm soft light rakes in almost parallel to the surface from the upper left, revealing the dimensional texture of every loop and the soft roll of the fold, with the light falling off steadily so the lower right of the frame sinks into deep warm near-black. A beautiful females hand feeling the texture of the garment because it is so soft and nice. Shot on a macro lens at f/5.6 with crisp focus across the fold and natural falloff at the far edges, real film grain, no HDR. Charcoal, warm gray and black with one subtle warm highlight. Tactile, expensive, clearly a real material photographed rather than rendered.
