Kinetic Movement Pose
Say this to the subject
“Start still, then make one clean, unhurried movement. Walk forward, swing arms, look back at camera. Keep your eyes disruptive.”
Photographer cue: Step forward into a mid-stride walking position, leaning your torso slightly ahead. Swing your arms in a balanced, dynamic motion as if captured in time. Turn your head back over your shoulder to look directly at the camera with a disruptive and ambitious gaze. Maintain tension in your legs.
