Say this to the subject
“Let your weight settle into one leg and keep the other knee easy. Hand vertical by face, direct gaze, soft fingers. Keep your eyes direct to lens.”
Photographer cue: Hold your hand vertically next to your face, ensuring the bracelets catch the light. Keep your fingers soft and tapered. Look directly into the lens with a calm, poised expression.
