Say this to the subject
“Settle into the shape before making it your own. Diverse group huddled around a monitor. Keep your eyes mixed lens and near-lens eye lines.”
Photographer cue: Four adults of diverse backgrounds huddle closely around a monitor on a small table. A garment rack is visible to the side, emphasizing the BTS studio setting. The photographer should focus on the tight grouping and the overlapping shoulders, ensuring each face is visible and the gaze is consistently directed at the blank screen for a unified look.
