How to use this prompt

The compass must sit at a slight angle on the map; a perfectly centered compass looks like a product shot. Candlelight keeps the brass warm and reflective; flat light makes the metal dull. The leather journal adds context without competing. If the map labels are unreadable or anachronistic, add "no text" and let the folds and creases tell the story. 4:5 suits the vertical stack of map, compass, and journal. Keep stylize moderate so the brass keeps its shine. Add a folded corner of the map for depth.

Variations to try

Ocean version: add a coiled rope and a few seashells for a nautical explorer feel
Mountain version: replace the journal with a pair of binoculars and a topo map
