Profile Earring & Neckline Reveal
Say this to the subject
“Let your weight settle into one leg and keep the other knee easy. Profile view, hand pulling hair, chin up. Keep your eyes looking forward into the distance.”
Photographer cue: Turn to a full profile. Use the hand to gently pull hair away from the ear to showcase the earring. Lift the chin to elongate the neck and emphasize the necklace.
