Minimalist Ceramic Mug Contact Sheet Grid

A clean contact-sheet collage showing exactly 12 photos of the same [minimalist ceramic coffee cup], arranged in a 4-column by 3-row grid with narrow white gutters and a solid white border. The cup is a plain [warm off-white] stoneware mug with a rounded cylindrical body, slightly thick rim, subtle speckled matte ceramic texture, and a simple C-shaped handle; no logo, no decoration, no liquid, and no saucer. Style is [photorealistic studio product photography] with soft natural shadows, paper-like seamless backgrounds, and varied lighting and angles across tiles: - Tile 1: Side view on a warm beige background, handle on the right, soft shadow cast left. - Tile 2: Top-down view on a pale blue background, circular opening centered, handle pointing right. - Tile 3: Dramatic side view on a nearly black background, handle on the right, low-key lighting, strong rim highlight. - Tile 4: Side view on a dusty pink background, handle on the right, soft warm lighting. - Tile 5: Side view on a muted sage green background, handle on the right, diffused shadow. - Tile 6: Three-quarter side view on a cream background, handle on the right, bright softbox lighting. - Tile 7: Low-angle side view on a medium gray background resting on a curved tabletop edge, handle on the right, sculptural shadow. - Tile 8: High three-quarter view on a tan ochre background, handle on the right, visible interior. - Tile 9: Side view on a cool gray-blue background, handle on the right, long horizontal shadow. - Tile 10: Side view on a caramel brown background, handle on the right, warm studio illumination. - Tile 11: Overhead three-quarter view on an off-white background, handle near the upper right, visible empty interior. - Tile 12: Side view on a pale sky-blue background, handle on the right, bright airy lighting.
