Ear Tuck Pose
Say this to the subject
“Sit tall at first, then let your shoulders soften. Tuck hair behind ear with hand. Keep your eyes softly away from the camera.”
Photographer cue: Gently tuck a strand of hair behind your ear with your right hand. Ensure the fingers are tapered and elegant, not covering the earring. Tilt your head slightly to the left to emphasize the jewelry.
