Say this to the subject
“Take one unhurried step and let the arms follow naturally. Walk across, turn head to camera mid-stride. Keep your eyes direct and alert, captured in a moment of action..”
Photographer cue: Walk across the frame at a steady, purposeful pace. As you reach the center, turn your head sharply to look directly at the camera without breaking your stride. Keep your arms moving naturally; one hand can brush against your pocket. The goal is to capture a moment of decisive action, ambition, and forward momentum in a corporate setting.
