Say this to the subject
“Let your weight settle into one leg and keep the other knee easy. Hands in lower frame, looking down at product, relaxed shoulders. Keep your eyes focused on the product.”
Photographer cue: Rest your hands in the lower part of the frame, overlapping them slightly. Look down at the bangles as if you are admiring their texture. Keep your shoulders relaxed and slightly blurred.
