The north side straight on from above the courtyard, in summer sun. Five shopfronts left to right: The Albion Lounge, The Crown & Anchor, Fairbairn & Vine Wine Merchants, Trattoria Lucia with its red and white striped awning, and Hartley's Bakery, with cafe tables along the wide pavement. Above, the upper floor of tall bronze windows between limestone fins, a clerestory band and floating roof plates, and three slate roofs stepping, with one chimney. The lightwell's glass balustrade is in the lower left and the water bowl at the foot.

prompt

Turn the attached 3D model image into a photorealistic architectural photograph. Keep the exact layout, camera angle and the position of every building, shopfront, sign, lamp post, bench and tree from the attached image. Only change the materials, lighting, weather and surroundings as described below.

Setting: a bright midsummer midday. This side faces south, so the sun falls full on the shopfronts and the floating roof plates cast a crisp shadow line along the limestone. Camera high on the south side of the street looking north, 35mm lens.

The view: the whole north side of Market Row, the private courtyard street of the house, seen from slightly above, as if from the roofline of the opposite side. Show every shop listed below clearly, with its sign readable.

Every shopfront sits in its own bay between honed pale limestone pilasters, uplit at their feet, under a deep carved pale stone cornice; a slim bronze and glass canopy with a fine warm LED line runs along the fronts (not over the cinema or the garage). Above, the upper floor is a crisp grid of pale Portland limestone fins and slabs with tall bronze windows set deep, a band of clerestory glass on top, and a thin pale floating roof plate overhanging the street by nearly two metres with a fine LED line on its edge; the plates step up and down with the house sections and dark slate roofs rise behind them. All the stone is calm, even and pale with no marble veining. The street: pale granite pavements, grey granite setts laid in sweeping fan arcs, slim black modern lamp posts.

The shopfronts, left to right, exactly in this order and no others:
- The Albion Lounge (L-shaped corner shop, 8 m front): slim dark bronze frame and tall plate glass, the name in cut bronze serif letters on a dark bronze fascia, softly backlit; through the glass, deep velvet sofas, dark timber panelling and warm table lamps; two clipped bay trees in black pots at the door
- The Crown & Anchor (5 m front): slim dark bronze frame and tall plate glass, the name in cut bronze serif letters on a dark bronze fascia, softly backlit; through the glass, a long polished bar with brass taps, leather stools and rows of bottles, warmly lit
- Fairbairn & Vine, Wine Merchants (6 m front): slim dark bronze frame and tall plate glass, the name in cut bronze serif letters on a dark bronze fascia, softly backlit; through the glass, floor-to-ceiling oak wine racks and a long oak tasting table with glasses laid
- Trattoria Lucia (10 m front, an era hero front): 1950s Italian trattoria, cream painted frame, red fascia with Trattoria Lucia in cream script, a red and white striped awning with a line of warm festoon bulbs, red and cream check tablecloths inside, a chalk MENU board, clipped bay trees in pots and small round cafe tables with green chairs on the pavement
- Hartley's Bakery (5 m front): slim dark bronze frame and tall plate glass, the name in cut bronze serif letters on a dark bronze fascia, softly backlit; through the glass, wooden racks of crusty loaves, cakes on glass stands and a flour-dusted marble counter.

Foreground: the pale granite square with a low round stone water bowl, two silver birches and long backless oak benches. On the left, the glass balustrade and stone coping of the sunken lightwell, with the tops of its garden trees showing. Cafe tables laid along the 5 metre pavement in front of the pub, wine merchant and trattoria.

Style: high-end architectural photography, natural colours, crisp detail, real weathering and texture.

Avoid: changing the layout, theme park or film set look, twee chocolate-box cottages, plastic signs, modern glass boxes, real film titles or logos other than the shop names given, people, extra text.
