The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the prompt updates.
A studio still life in the manner of an eighties advertising photograph: polished metal objects and a couple of pieces of fruit arranged with generous space on a completely flat saturated red ground. Hard directional light so the chrome carries bright specular streaks and every object drops one crisp dark shadow. Deliberate graphic arrangement, nothing casual, no props beyond the subjects, no lettering.
