Dynamic Trench Coat Turn
Say this to the subject
“Start still, then make one clean, unhurried movement. Turning movement, coat billowing, hand on collar, head turned back. Keep your eyes direct to camera.”
Photographer cue: A dynamic turning movement with the trench coat billowing behind. One arm is raised to adjust the collar. The weight is on the front leg as the head turns sharply back to face the camera, creating a sense of powerful movement.
