NO PEOPLE IN THIS SHOT: the shot text shows only the place and its state — no living person appears in frame, and no face, and no figure standing, sitting or passing through. Do not invent someone to occupy the space.

One thing this rule does NOT forbid: the hand or arm of whoever is doing what the shot text describes. If the moment is an object being held, carried, operated, read, aimed, worn or handed over, the hand doing it belongs in frame, resting on or gripping that object exactly as its real use requires. An object photographed floating unsupported, with the hand that must be holding it erased, is a worse failure than the person you were avoiding — render the hand.
