Floor Pooled Oversized
Say this to the subject
“Make room through your torso and move slowly into the shape. Sit on the floor with a coat pooled around you, leaning on one hand. Keep your eyes soft and open..”
Photographer cue: Sit on the floor with one knee tucked in and the other leg extended. Pool an oversized coat around your body artistically. Place one arm through a sleeve and let the other sleeve drape over your lap. Use one hand to support your weight on the floor behind you. Tilt your head gently towards your shoulder and maintain a soft, open gaze with a serene expression.
