Symmetrical Collarbone Jewellery Frame
Say this to the subject
“Sit tall at first, then let your shoulders soften. Hands at collarbone, downward gaze, symmetrical. Keep your eyes downward, soft focus.”
Photographer cue: Bring both hands to the center of the chest. Interlace fingers or overlap hands to frame the necklace. Look down towards the hands to create a moody atmosphere.
