Kinetic Street Movement
Say this to the subject
“Start still, then make one clean, unhurried movement. Mid-step lean, one arm back, looking down with focus. Keep your eyes downcast and focused..”
Photographer cue: Lean forward as if in mid-stride. Extend one arm back for balance and keep the other close to your torso. Look down at your lead foot with a focused, intense expression. The pose should convey a sense of disruptive, rebellious energy in motion.
