Arranging White Boxes
Say this to the subject
“Settle into the shape before making it your own. Two adults arranging white blank boxes on a studio table. Keep your eyes mixed lens and near-lens eye lines.”
Photographer cue: Two fully clothed adults, one man and one woman, are positioned at a clean small studio table. They are carefully arranging white blank packaging boxes. A large softbox is visible in the upper corner, casting soft light on the scene. The photographer's objective is to capture a collaborative tabletop product setup in a professional studio environment. The subjects are standing, focused on the placement of the boxes to ensure a clean and minimalist aesthetic.
