# Featured image — Lohnauszahlung

**Last Updated:** 2026-04-01

## Brief

- **Topic:** Payroll **payout / Gutschrift** — the moment pay hits the account: **phone + banking context**, **no payslip stack** (that is **lohnzettel**), no contract pages, no readable numbers.
- **Mood:** Calm, trustworthy HR–finance; **warm late-afternoon sidelight**; **no faces**, **no readable text** anywhere.

## Scene type (diversity)

- **Type:** DESK / still life (tight editorial crop), **not** abstract nodes, **not** generic laptop-hero office.
- **Related / avoid overlap:** Keep distinct from **lohnzettel** (paper stacks, magnifier on tax lines). No train-window travel motif, no café counter.

## Prompt

Editorial photograph, **three-quarter close-up** from slightly above: a **real wooden desk** with visible grain and slight wear, **one smartphone** propped at an angle; the **screen is heavily out of focus** — only a **soft cool-blue glow** suggesting a banking app, **zero legible UI, icons, or digits**. Beside it, a **payment card lying face-down** (plain colored back, **no numbers or chip readable**), and the **corner of a stoneware mug**. **Warm sunlight** from the side, **shallow depth of field**, natural shadows, **slightly asymmetrical** composition, subtle **film-like grain**, **lived-in** not sterile. **16:9** full frame. **Absolutely no text, letters, logos, watermarks, or documents.**

**Avoid:** blue sphere, sundial, generic wall clock, floating pie chart, pristine white showroom desk, laptop as the main subject, tablet with abstract blocks, stacked paper, payslip, calculator pile, cash bundles, stock “perfect” AI office, vertical columns of light, flowing abstract nodes.

## Negative / avoid

- No payslip, no magnifying glass over tax lines, no duplicate **lohnzettel** paper-stack scene; no **German words** on mock screens; no cash bundles glamorizing bar pay.
