Say this to the subject
“Let your weight settle into one leg and keep the other knee easy. Hand to forehead, head tilted back, closed eyes. Keep your eyes closed eyes.”
Photographer cue: Raise your hand to your forehead, letting the bracelet drape naturally over your wrist. Tilt your head back to elongate your neck. Close your eyes and imagine a warm, radiant light hitting your face.
