Silk Shirting on Tailor Table in Patna Studio

Cool studio daylight illuminates a layer of pale blue silk shirting draped across a worn wooden tailoring table. The fabric lies flat with soft folds catching the stark fluorescent light overhead. Scattered around the cloth are metal shears with black handles and small white pieces of tailor's chalk. The setting is a simple indoor workspace near Patna, where late autumn is hinted at by the heavy, folded garments stacked in the background shadows. Deep warm shadows pool in the corners of the room, against the bright, cool illumination on the work surface. One metal ruler rests diagonally across the edge of the table, its markings visible against the wood grain.
