“Let your weight settle into one leg and keep the other knee easy. Inspect the blazer on the hanger. Keep your eyes down at the product detail.”
Photographer cue: Hold the hanger with both hands and inspect the fabric quality closely. Establish the product or environmental relationship first, keep the hands readable, then hold the stated eye line before changing one element.
