Photorealistic interior photograph of a private indoor archery and air rifle range in the basement of a house, a long room about 18 metres by 4.5 metres. An oak shooting line, black acoustic wall panels and ceiling baffles, a concrete floor. At the far end, round straw archery targets on stands and a dark rubber backstop, brightly lit. Near the line, an air rifle bench with rests, oak racks holding recurve and longbows and arrows, and a locked glass-fronted cabinet. Warm light behind the line. Style: high-end interior photography, real texture and craft. Avoid: brand logos, readable text, people, clutter.
