Hello, I recently dived into photorealistic renders. I have a reference photo which I’m trying to replicate, but I’m sort of stuck now.
Here’s my reference photo

and here’s my most recent render test
I don’t have the exact same materials, cause limitations. The point here is that I would like to know how to achieve those hard shadows and also how to set up the lighting better so it looks more realistic.
I also have a little problem with the area light displaying in my mirror, which is not something I want.
Here’s the blend file, if you need it.
Thank you for any help!
