Urban Glass Facade Standing
Say this to the subject
“Let your weight settle into one leg and keep the other knee easy. Angled stand with lapel adjustment and off-camera gaze. Keep your eyes off-camera left.”
Photographer cue: Stand with body angled at 45 degrees to the facade, subtly adjusting your lapel while looking past the lens to create a sense of professional focus.
