Leaning Blazer Pose
Say this to the subject
“Let the support take a little of your weight so nothing feels forced. Leaning against wall, one leg crossed, one hand in pocket, gaze to camera. Keep your eyes towards camera.”
Photographer cue: Standing with one shoulder leaning against a studio wall. One leg is crossed over the other at the ankles. One hand is tucked into a blazer pocket while the other rests at the side. The head is tilted back slightly with a direct gaze.
