01 Earring Profile
Say this to the subject
“Let your weight settle into one leg and keep the other knee easy. Set the shape, relax the hands, and hold the indicated eye line Keep your eyes look just beyond the lens.”
Photographer cue: For this beauty accessory detail study, build the 01 earring profile shape before refining it. Place the subject with a stable base, keep the visible hand action deliberate, set the head and eye line cleanly, and preserve the garment, product, or silhouette objective so the photographer can read the pose without improvising.
