Macro close-up commercial food photography of five sushi roll pieces stacked vertically, leaning diagonally from upper-left to lower-right, floating suspended in mid-air with no plate or surface beneath them. Portrait 9:16 aspect ratio.

Framing lock: The entire sushi stack must be fully contained within the frame with a small safe margin on all sides — nothing touching or crossing the top, bottom, left, or right edges. Do not crop, cut off, or let any part of the sushi extend beyond the canvas boundary. Center the stack with balanced negative space around it, sized slightly smaller within the frame than a full bleed composition. All flying sesame seeds must also stay fully inside the visible frame — none exiting or touching the edges.

From top to bottom: a sushi piece with white rice exterior densely coated in toasted white and black sesame seeds; a piece topped with glossy seared orange salmon with dark caramelized grill marks; a piece with a dark reddish-brown charred glazed topping and sesame along its edge; a piece coated in a dry granular green herb/seaweed crumb; a piece with a glossy red topping showing fine granular texture and bright specular highlights. Cross-sections show rice, a dark seaweed layer, and cucumber/avocado-like green filling inside.

Dozens of white and black sesame seeds frozen mid-air around the stack, concentrated on the left side but fully within frame, suggesting frozen motion. Hard directional key light from the upper-left, warm rim light from the back-right separating the food from a dark black-to-deep-red blurred background with a warm glow. Deep dramatic shadows, low fill light.

Shallow depth of field, sushi stack in crisp sharp focus, background and distant sesame seeds softly blurred. High-contrast, glossy, cinematic commercial food photography retouching, premium editorial advertising mood. No props, no cutlery, no napkin, no liquid, no condensation, no steam.

Composition note: full subject visible, no edge-cropping, comfortable margin on all four sides.
