Earring Presentation Pose
Say this to the subject
“Sit tall at first, then let your shoulders soften. Gesture towards the earring. Keep your eyes directly at the camera or towards the hand.”
Photographer cue: Bring your hand up towards your ear as if presenting the jewelry. Keep the palm open and fingers relaxed. Your hand should guide the viewer's eye to the earring without blocking it. Maintain a strong gaze.
