Dynamic Forward Lunge
Say this to the subject
“Start still, then make one clean, unhurried movement. Deep forward lunge with arms trailing and a confident forward gaze. Keep your eyes determined and fixed on the horizon.”
Photographer cue: Step into a deep, aggressive forward lunge. Reach your chest forward and let your arms trail naturally behind you to show speed. Look straight ahead with a confident expression as if reaching for a goal.
